Chief Operating Officer
About the role
Trexquant is a systematic investment firm focused on building the research and trading infrastructure required to discover and deploy quantitative strategies across global markets. Our mission is to build a platform that enables researchers to backtest and implement almost any type of cross-region and cross-asset alpha idea. We want researchers to be able to move efficiently from an investment hypothesis to simulation, evaluation, and ultimately production trading. Achieving this requires much more than building a backtester. It requires an integrated research and trading platform that supports multiple asset classes, regions, data sources, execution venues, brokers, and counterparties.
We are seeking a Chief Operating Officer who can turn this vision into an executable plan and ensure that the organization delivers on it. The COO will work closely with the CEO and leaders across research, engineering, trading, data, operations, and other functions to establish clear goals, assign ownership, identify dependencies, and drive projects through completion. This is a highly execution-oriented role. We are looking for someone who can take ambitious, sometimes loosely defined objectives and translate them into concrete projects with measurable milestones and accountable owners.
