This position will be the no.2 to the Head of Management Reporting and will have responsibility for financial planning and analysis support to the Global Heads of the respective businesses, a role which is normally performed by COOs or MDs in bulge bracket firms.  The level of interaction with the business, opportunity to work across multiple asset classes, and chance to redesign processes, make this an ideal move for an individual looking for a more rewarding role with a smaller firm.
