Lead Systematic Trading and Alpha Generation: Architect an ultra-innovative LLM-Powered Trading Desk in Tax-Free Dubai!
RGG Capital seeks a highly accomplished Systematic Trader (Head of Desk / Senior PM Caliber) to architect, build, and lead a new, proprietary AI-driven trading function in Dubai. This is a unique mandate to spearhead quantitative strategies, backed by significant patient capital and the focused approach of a private investment office.
Reporting directly to the CEO, partnering closely with the CIO, and building/leading a quantitative team (starting with a Quantitative Analyst), you will be the key P&L owner for high-frequency, event-driven strategies across commodities and equities. Your critical edge will be leveraging and co-developing unique alpha signals from our proprietary Large Language Model (LLM). This is an opportunity for a proven trader to make a foundational impact.
Why This Role is a Distinctive Opportunity for a Proven Trading Leader:
* P&L Ownership & True "Build" Mandate: Assume responsibility for an initial $10-50M+ AUM with a clear mandate to scale significantly based on performance. This is not just strategy execution; it's building a business unit.
* Define & Evolve Proprietary LLM Edge: Your deep market expertise will directly shape our LLM's alpha-generating capabilities. Collaborate closely with our AI/ML research team to refine, iterate, and transform unique data insights into tradable strategies.
* Direct CEO and CIO Partnership & Strategic Autonomy: Benefit from direct strategic alignment with the CEO and CIO in a discreet, focused environment. Experience the agility and long-term perspective of patient capital, free from common external fund management pressures, allowing for true strategic development.
* Exceptional Financial Rewards & Relocation package (Tax-Free Dubai):
* Competitive Tax-Free Base Salary: AED 60,000 - AED 70,000 per month (negotiable for exceptional track records).
* Performance Bonus: Opportunity for an annual bonus of up to 50% of your base salary, reflecting individual and company achievements.
* Plus: Systematic Team Profit Share - We believe that exceptional results come from teamwork. A dedicated pool, typically targeting 10% of the strategy's annual net profits, is allocated to and shared among key members of the quantitative strategy team. This pool is calculated systematically based on audited P&L, ensuring a transparent link between collective performance and reward.
* Relocation package to Dubai includes visa sponsorship, flights, initial accommodation, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits for self and family.
* Dedicated Leading Edge Infrastructure: Operate with high-performance computing, sophisticated analytical tools, and low-latency execution capabilities, built to support advanced systematic trading.
Key Strategic Objectives & Responsibilities:
* Alpha Generation & Portfolio Construction: Design, implement, and manage a portfolio of LLM-derived systematic strategies, with full P&L responsibility.
* Quantitative Research & Strategy Development: Lead the research agenda, continuously enhancing existing strategies and exploring new alpha sources in collaboration with the LLM team.
* Risk Management Framework: Architect and oversee a sophisticated risk management framework suitable for HFT and systematic portfolios.
