Singapur, Singapore Kepler Search Full time

A well-funded, high-growth fintech in the Asia-Pacific region seeks a Head of Quantitative Research to join the investment team in a high-impact leadership role. This individual will shape the firm’s systematic investment capabilities, oversee portfolio design, drive strategy development, and mentor a team of junior researchers. The role is ideal for a technically strong, hands-on quant professional with a passion for innovation and the ambition to influence the next generation of investment products.

Responsibilities
  • Spearhead the development of systematic, data-driven investment strategies that are scalable, globally diversified, and aligned with client outcomes.
  • Lead the design and ongoing evolution of asset allocation and capital weighting models that align with risk-return objectives across client segments.
  • Apply advanced statistical methods and financial modelling techniques to extract meaningful insights from market and macroeconomic data.
  • Build and maintain a comprehensive suite of risk tools — including stress testing, scenario analysis, and factor attribution — to enhance portfolio resilience.
  • Collaborate with engineering and trading teams to optimize execution efficiency through algorithmic strategies and smart order routing.
  • Provide mentorship and leadership to junior quant researchers, fostering a collaborative culture grounded in rigor, curiosity, and continuous learning.
  • Partner cross-functionally with product managers, advisors, and platform engineers to ensure investment models are integrated seamlessly into client-facing solutions.
Requirements
  • At least 10 years of experience in quantitative research, systematic investing, or portfolio construction, with a proven track record of delivering live strategies.
  • Master’s or PhD in Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
  • Strong programming skills (preferably in Python, R, or MATLAB), with comfort working in a data-intensive environment and building models end-to-end.
  • Deep understanding of portfolio theory, asset pricing, and risk management — with experience applying these frameworks in institutional or digital investment settings.
  • Demonstrated ability to guide and mentor technical teams, contributing both as a leader and an individual contributor.
  • Able to explain complex quantitative concepts to diverse stakeholders, from engineers and product managers to executives and clients.
