Location: Dubai, UAE

Role Overview

A leading hedge fund is looking for an experienced Long/Short Equities Portfolio Manager to deploy capital across MENA public markets. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of generating strong risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ≥1.5) through fundamental, event-driven, or relative value strategies.

Responsibilities

  • Construct and manage a market-neutral or directional L/S equity portfolio across MENA markets, with a focus on alpha generation.
  • Identify high-conviction long and short opportunities through deep fundamental research, financial modeling, and industry analysis.
  • Utilize a combination of bottom-up stock picking, event-driven strategies, and macro overlays to optimize portfolio returns.
  • Leverage synthetic instruments (CFDs, swaps) and other structures to express short positions where direct shorting is limited.
  • Adapt strategies to regional market structures, including liquidity constraints, regulatory requirements, and geopolitical risks.
  • Maintain strict risk controls, optimizing position sizing, stop-loss limits, and hedging strategies.
  • Engage with company management, sell-side analysts, and market participants to stay ahead of earnings trends, sector developments, and policy shifts.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in long/short equities portfolio management at a hedge fund, proprietary trading desk, or asset manager.
  • Demonstrable track record of profitability with a Sharpe ratio of 1.5 or higher.
  • Deep expertise in MENA equity markets, particularly in key sectors such as financials, consumer, industrials, real estate, and energy.
  • Strong knowledge of short-selling mechanisms, derivatives, and portfolio hedging techniques.
  • Highly disciplined risk management approach, with experience managing liquidity constraints and regulatory considerations in MENA.
  • Ability to integrate quantitative techniques or alternative data into a fundamentally driven investment process is a plus.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in finance, economics, mathematics, or a related field.

What's on Offer

  • Access to substantial capital within a well-established hedge fund platform.
  • Competitive compensation structure with a performance-based payout.
  • Institutional-grade infrastructure, execution support, and risk management oversight.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced MENA-focused equities investor to run a sophisticated long/short strategy with meaningful capital backing.
