Senior Macro Strategist Role at F&L Search, New York

The Senior Macro Strategist - Global Multi-Asset, Client-Facing role at F&L Search offers something rare in finance: real input into a top-tier investment process combined with direct access to CIOs and investment committees allocating billions. Based in the New York City Metropolitan Area , this seat is built for someone who has invested capital and now wants to dedicate their time to thinking and client-facing work.

What Makes This Senior Macro Strategist Seat Unique

Our client is one of the world's largest global macro investors. This role sits inside the investment business that manages the majority of its assets, serving its most important institutional clients—pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and central banks. The firm is making a deliberate investment in a senior person, with a genuine learning curve in its framework over the first two years and extensive global travel.

Your day-to-day goes beyond analysis. You will carry the firm's macro thinking to clients, adapt it to the problems each one faces—from asset allocation to portfolio construction—and bring what you learn back into the research. You will also write thematic research under your own name and own the intellectual relationship with a portfolio of marquee clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Represent the firm's macro views to CIOs, investment committees, and boards at pensions, endowments, and sovereign pools globally
• Translate a rigorous, systematic house view into conclusions allocators can act on, across asset classes and regions
• Write thematic research on the long-run forces driving markets
• Work through clients' portfolio questions—asset allocation, risk, and portfolio construction—with the firm's investment team
• Build indicators and analysis that feed back into the investment process
• Own the intellectual relationship with a portfolio of the firm's most important clients

What You Bring to the Table

• Investment experience: you have managed capital, sat on an investment committee, or set the macro view inside a fund's investment process
• Breadth across global macro—rates, FX, equities, commodities, and the economy—with depth to dive into any of them
• A track record of writing your own research
• Experience presenting to sophisticated institutional investors and an appetite for heavy travel
• Senior standing: Director or Managing Director on the sell side, or the buy-side equivalent
• Relevant backgrounds include in-house macro strategists at hedge funds and multi-strategy platforms, multi-asset and asset-allocation strategists at asset managers and asset owners, or global cross-asset strategists on the sell side

This role will suit someone who genuinely wants to be a strategist. It is less likely to fit a portfolio manager who wants to keep running their own book, a specialist anchored to one asset class, or someone whose clients have mainly been in private wealth. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.

Application Tips for Aspiring Macro Strategists

To stand out for a seat of this caliber, your approach should reflect the seniority and specificity of the role. First, ensure your research footprint is visible—if you have published thematic macro notes, have them organized and ready to share, as recruiters and CIOs will want to see how you construct a narrative around long-run market forces. Second, emphasize your cross-asset fluency rather than deep specialization in a single area; the hiring team is looking for someone who can connect dots across commodities, equities, and the broader economy.

Third, if you have presented to investment committees or sovereign wealth fund boards, highlight those specific interactions on your profile. Platforms like LinkedIn and industry conferences are where such senior talent is often scouted, so make sure your profile reflects your investment committee experience and research output. Finally, be prepared to discuss how you would take a systematic house view and adapt it for different allocator problems—this is the core of the client-facing element and will likely come up early in conversations.
