View opportunityThe portfolio-manager seat is structurally different from every other role on this list. Compensation is a formula - usually a percentage of net profit above a hurdle - rather than a discretionary number, and the negotiation is about payout percentage, risk allocation, team budget and the terms of any guarantee.
KnowQuant's model puts total compensation for a systematic portfolio manager in New York at roughly $500k to $15m, from entry level to senior. These are modelled bands, not published offers; the salary page shows the basis and how each city compares.
Loops for this function usually probe portfolio construction, risk allocation, strategy design and team leadership. The firm guides below describe each loop stage by stage, and the practice bank has worked problems with full reasoning.

12 systematic portfolio manager adverts are open at the firms KnowQuant tracks, checked against the employers' own boards. The count describes open adverts, not hiring plans.
KnowQuant models New York total compensation at roughly $500k to $15m across seniority levels. This is a modelled estimate; adverts that publish pay show it separately.
The recurring requirements are portfolio construction, risk allocation, strategy design, team leadership and capital raising.
Common routes in include senior researchers with attributable track record, traders promoted to book ownership and pms relocating a team from another platform. Firms also hire strong candidates from adjacent fields.
Read the loop for the firm you are targeting (KnowQuant covers Citadel / Citadel Securities, D. E. Shaw and Millennium Management among others), then practise timed problems in the practice bank until the reasoning is fluent.
Counts describe adverts open on the employers' own boards at the last verification, not hiring plans or headcount. Adverts that disappear from a board drop out of this page.
