Operations Analyst (Shadow COO opportunity) – Boutique Hedge Fund - Six-figure comp package

A boutique, rapidly expanding hedge fund is looking to make a newly created, key non-investment hire.

This is a hybrid role that has responsibilities across operations/middle office and ‘shadow COO’ work.

The back office and middle office remit is outsourced, so the line remit is free of manual responsibilities, instead focused on oversight of what is produced externally and critical analysis of numbers that come into the firm (P&L, NAV etc.).

Project responsibilities form a core component of the remit - the hire should look to automate processes and create new tools to pull data out of the system to provide the investment team with better performance analysis.

The COO will entrust that the hire can handle other important tasks stand-alone, such as pro-actively calling brokers, managing the RPA process, and being trained in-house to take on a range of tasks from him. The COO suggested that the role would suit an ambitious junior looking to be a HOO in 5 years and a COO in 10 years.

Candidates should have 2-5 years of hedge fund operations or middle office experience. There is a focus on strong academics, and candidates must have advanced tech skills.

Whilst this is an analyst-level role, we have assurances that it will pay a six-figure compensation package in year one.
