About Open Mineral

Open Mineral is a global commodity trader, combining deep expertise in physical trading with a quantitative, data-driven approach to financial markets. We specialize in base metals and concentrates, leveraging advanced technology, market intelligence, artificial intelligence and proprietary data analytics to optimize decision-making at every step of our business chain.

Our quantitative trading division applies systematic strategies to commodity markets, integrating hundreds of alphas from our proprietary research pool. With a strong foundation in artificial intelligence and algorithmic trading, we develop and execute models that identify inefficiencies and generate sustainable risk-adjusted returns. Our unique advantage lies in bridging the gap between physical and financial markets, utilizing our deep industry experience to enhance quantitative research and trading strategies.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Portfolio Manager (PM) to lead systematic trading strategies across LME, CME, and SHFE markets. At Open Mineral, PMs gain access to a vast pool of alpha signals developed by our leading quantitative researchers, as well as proprietary insights derived from our extensive physical trading expertise. The role focuses on portfolio construction, risk-adjusted returns, and execution optimization, rather than requiring prior experience in quantitative base metals trading.

This is an opportunity to be part of a high-caliber team at the intersection of commodity markets and quantitative finance, applying systematic methods to extract alpha from metals trading while leveraging unique physical market insights.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and manage systematic alpha-driven trading strategies in base metals (LME, CME, SHFE).
  • Utilize Open Mineral's exclusive access to hundreds of alpha signals from our research pool.
  • Optimize trading strategies with a focus on risk-adjusted returns and robust portfolio construction.
  • Leverage Open Mineral's physical market intelligence to enhance quantitative trading models.
  • Work closely with quant researchers, engineers, and risk teams to refine execution strategies.
  • Continuously monitor and adapt models based on market dynamics and performance metrics.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated ability to manage capital with a track record of risk-adjusted returns.
  • Strong background in systematic trading, portfolio management, or alpha-driven strategies.
  • Proficiency in Python, R, C++, or other programming languages used for quant research and execution.
  • Knowledge of market microstructure, execution algorithms, and portfolio construction.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a drive to build and scale systematic strategies.

Why Join Us?

  • Performance-driven compensation aligned with trading success.
  • Access to hundreds of alphas developed by top-tier quant researchers.
  • Flexible location: based in Abu Dhabi or remote.
  • Collaborative environment with a team of industry-leading professionals in commodities and quantitative finance.

How to Apply

If you are a driven, systematic trader passionate about commodity markets and quantitative research, we invite you to join Open Mineral and be part of a cutting-edge trading operation by applying through this job posting.
