What is your role as a Quant Trader in a Long Short Equity Hedge Fund?

[shaq]

I recently joined a Long Short Equity Hedge Fund as a Quant Trader. Before this role I use to work as a Quant Researcher in a High Frequency Trading Firm. It has been 2 weeks since I joined this 3 member team Hedge Fund, yet I still cannot understand what is the role and responsibilities of a quant trader. I need some guidance from this community to understand how should I add value to this role.

Apologies for intervening, since I am not a quant yet, but how is it possible to assume a role without having spent considerable time understanding what the role is about? Particularly, when it sits within a hedge fund. I mean, weren't there scrutinizing interviews and questions on why you want to join and what you have to offer? It's not a graduate role afterall.
