Hi R***t, great to hear you’re interested. Would Wednesday at 3:00 PM IST or Thursday at 11:00 AM IST work for a 20,30-minute call? If those don’t fit, let me know your preferred window. Here’s a quick overview of the Global Head of Quantitative Strategies & Data Science role at Q***l: 1.

Great,Wednesday at 3:00 PM IST is confirmed. On compensation, for a Global Head of Quantitative Strategies & Data Science at Q***e, you’d be looking at a total package in the ballpark of USD 400K,600K. That typically breaks down as: • Base salary in the USD 300K,400K range • Annual bonus opportunity of 30,100% of base (depending on firm and individual performance) • Meaningful equity participation in the firm Regarding work flexibility, Q***e embraces a hybrid model. You can work remotely most of the time, with the expectation of periodic on-site collaboration (roughly 1,2 weeks per quarter) at one of our global hubs or regional offices. We’re open to tailoring that cadence to fit your preferred balance. Look forward to diving deeper on Wednesday. If you have any other questions before then, just let me know!

Hi R***t, Great questions,happy to clarify: 1. Equity Structure & Vesting - Q***e typically grants senior leaders Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) or Performance Share Units that represent a meaningful stake (for a role at your level, this often falls in the 0.5,1.0% range of the firm’s equity pool). - Vesting is on a four-year schedule with a one-year cliff (25% vests at the 12-month mark), then quarterly vesting thereafter. - There’s also an acceleration provision on certain liquidity events and standard double-trigger change-in-control protection. - We can share the exact grant formula, percentage targets and any performance hurdles ahead of your final offer. 2. On-Site Cadence Flexibility - Our baseline model is ~1,2 weeks onsite per quarter at one of our global hubs, both for key team meetings and cross-functional alignment. - That said, we understand deep research sprints or strategic initiatives sometimes demand extended remote focus. We’re happy to tailor the schedule,shifting onsite weeks or moving to a fully remote stretch,provided major deliverables and team touchpoints remain aligned. - In practice, many of our senior quant leaders block out extended remote periods around model builds, then cluster in-office weeks for reviews, roadmaps and all-hands sessions. Let me know if you’d like a more detailed equity term sheet or to loop in our Head of Finance for a deeper dive prior to Wednesday’s chat. Looking forward to our conversation!
