Fundamental L/S equity analyst to alphacapture product manager

I am currently an analyst at a 200m AUM hedge fund working as a fundamental equity L/S analyst. Got an opportunity to interview for an alphacapture product manager role at one of the largest/prestigious quant HFs in the world. Would this kind of move make sense? I understand that quant HFs are what's structurally growing, but not 100% clear what the role entails.

Can anyone give me some insights?

 
Best Response

Part of the problem is that there is not much out there in terms of role description/responsibilities: From a competitor:

"Very interesting opportunity for an experienced relationship manager to join a leading multi-strategy hedge fund with a quant-bias. You will work as part of the alpha capture (global) team, and will have primary responsibility for managing broker relationships and further monetising the alpha capture product."
