Employer job description
From Viewline Ventures's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About Us
We are a stealth-stage fund and tech startup operating at the intersection of alternative markets and quantitative strategy. Backed by experienced operators and growing quickly, we are building the infrastructure to scale a high-performance, data-driven business.
Our strategies are identified by a small research team and then executed by an operations floor working through structured playbooks. The edge is real, but capturing it depends entirely on execution being accurate, fast and consistent. That is where this role sits.
The Role
You run the execution floor day to day so our Head of Quant can go back to research.
Today he is doing both, which means the research half is not happening and the floor half is not being managed as well as it should be. You take the floor: the people, the training, the process, the error rates and the throughput. He takes back the work only he can do.
The team you will manage is largely early in their careers, works to detailed playbooks, and is measured on output and accuracy. Output per person currently varies by a factor of several between the best and the weakest, which tells you most of what you need to know about where the opportunity is.
