Portfolio Manager, Equity Long/Short - Industrials New York City | Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund Platform | Backed by a $50bn+ Global Investment Manager Our client is the multi-strategy hedge fund arm of a globally recognised investment management firm overseeing more than $50bn in assets. As part of a significant strategic expansion, they are seeking to hire an experienced Equity Long/Short Portfolio Manager focused on Industrials to establish and scale a dedicated strategy from their New York office. This represents a rare opportunity for an experienced PM to join a well-capitalised platform that combines the entrepreneurial freedom of running an independent book with the stability, infrastructure, and long-term mindset of a major institutional asset manager. Unlike traditional pod shops, this platform operates within a highly collaborative environment where Portfolio Managers are viewed as long-term strategic investments rather than short-term performance hires. The successful candidate will be responsible for building and managing a dedicated fundamental Equity Long/Short Industrials strategy, with full ownership of idea generation, portfolio construction, position sizing, risk management, and overall investment decisions. Each PM runs a standalone book and has significant autonomy over how they construct and manage their strategy. The firm is particularly interested in experienced investors with a repeatable investment process, a demonstrated ability to generate alpha on both the long and short sides, and the potential to scale meaningful institutional capital over time.
