Junior Operations / Trade Support Analyst – Expanding hedge fund – FO Progression – 30
The fund has a strong AUM that has doubled over the past two years and whilst the fund is still relatively small in size, a new hire is required to support its infrastructure build out. There is currently a head of middle office reporting in to the COO and a separate finance team. Middle Office consists of operations, desk assistant and analytical (around numbers produced by the finance function) responsibilities. The hire is to take on that full remit but if anything act as the main assistant to the PM’s.
The candidate should see the role as being a way as getting in to the hedge fund space, but also as a way to be open to unique progression possibilities. The COO is committed to moving the hire on elsewhere in the fund after two years, potentially in to a front office position if they are an exceptional performer (this would be preferred given their expansion plans). For that reason we can only look at candidates with top class academics, a passion for the banking space and the personality to work in a role that exposes the individual to all areas of the fund. You should essentially have the personality and character to work in a front office role. Ideally the candidate would be a recent graduate that has gone in to an investment banking support role, or a support role in an asset manager.
The client is offering a 30-40k base salary. The expectation is that the bonus potential is going to be high based on the profit pool shared out in recent times.
