COO - Hedge Fund | London, UK

A boutique hedge fund is looking to identify a new COO due to a recent resignation in the senior leadership team. The role is broad and all-encompassing, where the founder is looking for that unique skill set of being hands-on but also able to operate in the future at the CEO level. Unique role.

A brilliant opportunity has arisen in a hedge fund that has over $1BN AUM and a long-standing track record.

The CEO is looking for a broad and all-encompassing COO who can perform a wide range of tasks:

• Responsible for all core business activities outside of portfolio management.
• Lead and manage all operations of the company and fund.
• Lead on the regulatory compliance direction of the firm.
• Oversee accounting and finance of the firm.
• Manage IT operations.

This is a classic COO role in a hedge fund aimed at someone with a high pedigree—numerate, strong IT skills, and good views on the strategic direction of a hedge fund.

The CEO is genuinely looking for a proper COO to manage the firm for him.

Great role that offers significant upside potential.
