Celia Dodds

Celia is a Senior Recruitment Consultant on the US Quant team. Based in New York, she specializes in placing traders, researchers and developers in hedge funds, prop shops, and market makers. Quant US has a particular focus on introducing candidates to firms they may not have already come across, typically working most closely with <50 person/<$5bn AUM companies. A typical candidate for Celia would be someone with 3+ years’ experience in a systematic/semi-systematic shop. They would usually have Python or C++ experience, and proven ability to manage trades, alpha generation, or end to end development projects.

Celia is particularly interested in the fast-moving nature of the trading world, and enjoys working with boutiques because of their adaptability to external events. She is eager to see how the market will develop, likely with increasing dependence on quantitative methods, and how AI will be incorporated into this shift.
