Model Jobs in Neuss

As Head of Strategic Communications & Marketing, you take full ownership of Alphawave’s external positioning and

reputation. You build the communication architecture from the ground up and shape leadership and investor narratives to establish

Alphawave as an institutional, professionally positioned platform for quantitative investments.

About the Role

Our portfolio company is at a pivotal stage in its development: a systematic, technology-driven quantitative investment firm that, after years of scientific research, validated model performance, and institutional preparation, is now entering its scaling phase.

With the launch of its first capital markets products, growing institutional interest, and a clear international ambition, external perception becomes a strategic value driver — not as a marketing function, but as a capital markets asset.

As Head of Strategic Communications & Marketing , you will act as the architect of this perception. Your mission is to position Alphawave alongside leading quantitative hedge funds, multi-asset managers, and capital markets players — grounded in substance, driven by reputation, and executed with precision. You will further develop the communication architecture (from “0 → 1”), define leadership positioning, orchestrate media, regulatory, and investor narratives, and build an international trust profile that credibly reflects growth, adaptability, and institutional excellence.

This role is a high-impact component of the company’s scaling strategy — with direct proximity to senior leadership, ownership over all external touchpoints, and the opportunity to shape the brand and reputation of an emerging European quant player.
