Head of Operations / Middle Office – Recent startup Hedge Fund – 50
The fund achieved strong returns last year, doubled its AUM and has since made a couple of key front office hires that are already paying dividends. Its infrastructure must be developed to support a further increase in AUM and so a new head of operations is being hired to support the current operations analyst and the COO.
Given the changing nature of the COO’s role you are to run all of operations / middle office on a daily basis and would be the focal point for all operational matters both with internal and external stakeholders. You are to work particularly close to one of the founding partners who puts a strong emphasis on infrastructure and its importance to the fund. You’ll have a unique opportunity to be involved in business analysis and strategy given this.
The role offers strong potential to grow out a much larger middle office function. However the COO is keen to point out that your relationship with one of the founding partners would suggest that given the right impression and his eye for talent , more front office aligned progression options could be available.
The client is offering a 50-60k base salary and a strong bonus based on this year’s numbers.
