About The Position

Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, founded in 1992, is a global alternative asset management firm. Over the years, it has developed a diversified investment platform that includes hedge funds, co-investment vehicles, and committed, closed-end vehicles designed for longer-term holding periods.

Currently managing over $4 billion in capital, the firm strives to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for a financially sophisticated clientele, including institutional investors, public and corporate pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and family offices. Based in New York, Highbridge also operates an office in London.

At the same time, the successful candidate will oversee trading for a new strategy, collaborating closely with the CIOs, CRO, and the risk, portfolio construction, and technology teams to design and refine a systematic investment approach.
