A multi-billion dollar AUM Hedge Fund are looking to make a newly created hire for its expanding London office.
The hire will report directly into the European Head of Operations / Middle Office - the hire will be SME for equities, taking ownership of operations / middle office tasks for the firm’s expanding equities investment strategy. As many tasks are outsourced, a core focus is on analytical tasks, oversight of external service providers and project work (which will be varied in nature, but predominately focused on the buildout of infrastructure or support for equities investment professionals). The hire will face off to multiple PB’s as a first point of contact for the European equities business.
The firm have a strong progression culture and so whilst the intention is for the hire to develop into ‘Operations Manager’, other members of the global operations team have moved into desk assistant, business management, treasury and change roles, so a variety of future progression prospects are possible. It can also be possible for a top performer to transfer internally to international offices in the future.
Candidates should have 5-10yrs experience in hedge fund operations. A strong background in equities is required, as are excellent academics and strong tech skills.
The role is budgeted to pay an £80-110k base salary initially. Top performers in operations at this firm earn large % bonuses.
