Hedge Fund Operations Manager, $20bn AUM, FO bonus recruitment
With the expansion of a second fund, the current Head of Operations is moving in to more of a COO role, so the candidate will run the day to day management of the growing Operations team.
Whilst the current team of five is stable, the individual will have to grow team size to ten and segregate its remit across both funds over the next couple of years (currently all one team). You will work closely to Senior Management and Head Traders in the business. For that reason you must be a strong communicator and be used to managing such relationships. This is of course in addition to having a strong track record working in the Hedge Fund operations space and being a manager of either large or small, growing teams.
The individual can work their way to a head of Middle Office or COO role in the next few years, so we need an individual that is both senior and has the potential to grow in the role. A major advantage would be any hands on Equities knowledge.
The client is offering a base salary in line with the market, but a front office bonus, in addition to a work life balance and benefits that are significantly better than competitors.
