Longshanks Capital careers

Founded by Robert Kehres and Kevin Schneider, Longshanks Capital is a proprietary trading firm specializing in systematic equity derivatives strategies, adopting an amalgamation of automation, fundamental analysis, options theory, and quantitative trading.

The firm was founded by an Oxford- and Cambridge-educated entrepreneur, fund manager, quantitative trader and a PhD in Finance and postdoctoral researcher with experience at Oxfo, whose combined experience spans leading financial institutions, academic excellence, and entrepreneurial ventures.



The firm is built on a philosophy of exclusivity and selectivity—prioritizing quality over scale. Its core team includes the two Oxbridge Founding Partners, an Oxford-educated Trader, and three IIT-educated Quantitative Strategists.

Longshanks Capital is advised by a distinguished group that includes former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, serial entrepreneur and early technology pioneer Tim Kehres, and experienced credit trader and investor Kam Randhawa.

The firm's appellation derives its name from King Edward I of England (1239-1307), a fierce warrior king, influential reformer, and effective ruler. His intimidating figure and success on the field of battle earned him the lasting nicknames Longshanks and Scottorum malleus.
