Operations Analyst - Boutique Hedge Fund - 12 month FTC

Our client, a circa $1bn AUM boutique hedge fund, are looking to make a newly created hire into their operations / middle office team on a fixed term contract.

The firm are expanding its AUM & volumes are up, however as they are going through (positive) changes across the firm and starting to outsource more non-investment processes, the client is not in a position to hire an additional operations team member on a permanent basis (as they are not sure what the role will look like in 12months time). We are looking for a line operations hire, to ideally start ASAP, working on a 6-12month fixed term contract, albeit with the option to be made permanent once the permanent role is defined.

The hire will be working a hands-on operations remit, in a small team, shadowing the HOO on many tasks / major new initiatives, including company-wide projects. BAU tasks include Corporate Actions, Trade booking, reconciliation, calculate and analyse the firm’s daily P&L, risk reporting, margin analysis etc.

Candidates must be experienced hedge fund operations professionals. We are open to level of experience and strategy background.

This is an important role that has a flexible comp range. Ideally, our client will look to guarantee the individual’s previous total comp as a fixed base salary. They also intend to offer a contract completion bonus. Treated as a permanent employee, you will also be entitled to the firm’s full benefits package.
