Healthcare Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — Los Angeles, CA

A healthcare sector momentum trader at Maverick focuses on US healthcare equities — biotech catalysts, large pharma, medical devices, and the managed-care payer complex. The sector spans both highly volatile catalyst-driven small-caps and defensive large-cap names, which means a healthcare specialist runs two very different sub-strategies under one umbrella. Los Angeles, CA: Los Angeles is the second-largest financial center in the country by a number of measures — Capital Group, TCW, PIMCO, Oaktree, and dozens of independent funds are headquartered in the LA/Pasadena/Newport Beach corridor. Pacific Time means the market opens before most of LA wakes up; the trade-off is a clean afternoon free by 1pm. Many of our West Coast traders prefer this rhythm explicitly. What you\'ll trade: Large pharma (JNJ, MRK, PFE, LLY) for stable trend trades and option liquidity, large biotech (AMGN, GILD, REGN) for fundamental-driven positioning, mid-cap biotech for catalyst trades around clinical data and FDA decisions, medical device names (ISRG, MDT) for steady momentum, and payers (UNH, ELV) for policy-driven moves. Risk framework: Healthcare carries binary catalyst risk in biotech (one FDA decision moves a stock 40%), regulatory and political risk in payers and large pharma, and patent-cliff timing risk. Maverick limits biotech catalyst exposure to defined-risk structures and caps total sector concentration. Why Maverick funds this role: Healthcare rewards domain expertise more than almost any other sector — the difference between a real clinical signal and noise isn\'t visible from price action alone. Maverick funds specialists who bring genuine sector knowledge, not generalists picking up healthcare names off a momentum screen. Traders with a science or medical background — or who have done the work to understand it People who can read a clinical trial press release and assess the actual signal Candidates who already follow the FDA PDUFA calendar and major medical conferences Traders who can size catalyst trades for binary outcomes, not normal-distribution outcomes #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
