The Role
Data Analyst & Management Information Reporting – start-up Hedge Fund
Martis Search is partnering with a boutique, multi-asset class start-up Hedge Fund to appoint a permanent “Hedge Fund Data Analyst.”
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a dynamic, rapidly growing firm and play a key role in shaping its data infrastructure and reporting capabilities.
Reporting directly to the COO, this is a broad and hands-on role working across a wide range of datasets, including Fund Data, Performance Data, Investment Data, Compliance Data, and Operations Data.
Although the firm uses high-end, off-the-shelf technology solutions, many teams across London and New York still rely on complex Excel spreadsheets. The successful candidate will help automate and streamline these processes using advanced Excel, Power BI, and ideally coding/ Macros, with a focus on reducing manual updates and improving data accuracy.
You will work with complex, interconnected spreadsheets used by multiple stakeholders across the business. You must be highly technical, data-driven, and confident handling large and sophisticated datasets.
The role also includes a strong emphasis on data visualisation and management information (MI) reporting. You may produce reporting and dashboards for Fund Managers, the COO, Compliance, Operations, external investors and prospective clients. This may include internal MI, Power BI dashboards, Excel reporting, performance data, and client pitch materials.
This is a genuinely wide-ranging Data Analyst role offering direct interaction with senior stakeholders and exposure across the entire Hedge Fund.
Who they are looking for:
Our client is open-minded about background. Our client will look a graduate calibre individual with strong “advanced Excel and advanced Power BI” skills. Candidates may come from:
• 2024/ 2025 STEM subject graduates (1st Class Honours, or 2:1 in a BSc type degree) with no Hedge Fund experience but with “Advanced Excel and Power BI skills” with full “on-the-job-training” as being provided.
• STEM subject graduates (1st Class Honours, or 2:1 in a BSc type degree) Graduates with x 1–2 years’ experience in a Hedge Fund, Asset Manager, or Investment Bank in a data-focused role.
The COO is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with complex datasets and analytical tools. This is not intended as a short-term path into a front-office investment role.
Experience with Python or SQL is highly desirable.
As a start-up environment, the role is 5 days per week in the office, and you must be comfortable working independently and taking initiative on data projects.
