G10 Macro Desk Strategist

We have partnered with a Tier-1 global asset manager looking to hire a G10 Macro/Rates Strategist . This position is based in Singapore and sits within a highly regarded macro research & strategy team.

The successful candidate will be embedded directly on the G10 Rates desk, working day-to-day alongside the Rates PMs and in close interaction with other macro PMs . This structure makes the role particularly exciting, offering the ability to influence investment decisions, contribute directly to PnL, and help shape the portfolio construction process.

The role is well-suited to candidates with a background in rates strategy or macro strategy , who can generate clear, investment-relevant views using a structured macro framework. It requires the ability to analyse inflation dynamics, monetary policy trajectories, and sovereign fundamentals, and to translate these into actionable trade ideas.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth analysis of macroeconomic developments, central bank policy, and sovereign fundamentals to support investment decisions in global fixed income markets.
• Generate actionable Rates and FX trade ideas, with the ability to link inflation dynamics, monetary policy trajectories, and yield curve structures into coherent trade recommendations.
• Build and maintain models that forecast interest rate dynamics, assess policy shifts, and interpret yield curve movements.
• Work closely with G10 Rates PMs on the desk, directly contributing to trade idea generation, positioning, and investment performance.
• Collaborate with other macro PMs to ensure strategy views are aligned across the broader platform.
• Produce timely and thematic research notes and reports to drive internal investment dialogue.
• Engage with external policy institutions, think tanks, and market participants to inform internal macro perspectives.
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the team's macro research framework, ensuring rigour and relevance in a dynamic market environment.
• Apply macro frameworks to real-world market challenges - for example, assessing Japan's inflation trajectory, the sustainability of BoJ policy, or valuation of JGBs in a shifting rate environment.

Requirements & Qualifications

• 2–6 years of experience in macro research or strategy, with a particular focus on Developed Market rates.
• Strong technical toolkit, including econometric modelling, macro forecasting, and interest rate analytics.
• Proven ability to synthesise macroeconomic signals into actionable investment views, with experience supporting traders or investment teams.
• Deep understanding of inflation regimes, monetary policy dynamics, and sovereign balance sheet analysis.
• Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex macro ideas in a clear, concise, and investment-relevant format.
• Strong data analysis and charting skills (Excel essential; Python/Bloomberg a plus).
• Coverage of Japan is a significant plus - e.g., ability to form views on Japanese inflation sustainability, the BoJ policy path, or JGB valuation in a normalised world.
• Located in, or willing to relocate to, Singapore (visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates).
• Team-oriented mindset with the ability to contribute independently in a high-performance environment.
