A multi-billion dollar AUM US Hedge Fund, going through a huge period of growth, are looking to make a newly created senior line operations / middle office hire for its hub New York office.

As a senior operations analyst, you will work on a broad range of BAU tasks with the wider team, with an additional focus on leading key ‘projects’. The firm are expanding into new asset classes / strategies - as a senior member of the team, you will lead projects for the new fund launches, the onboarding of new products + the infrastructure build out for new desks. The hire will have the most senior level exposure / visibility both internally and externally as a project manager. The BAU ‘Operations’ remit is highly analytical, front office facing / focused and technical (work is focused on oversight & analysis as opposed to standard processing tasks) – the nature of the work means that you can learn SQL and python to a good standard in this role.

Progression can be into an operations manager role, however previous moves from the operations team have also been into treasury, risk, front office and into some of the firm’s satellite offices overseas.

Candidates should have roughly 4-8yrs relevant hedge fund operations / middle office experience. A very strong academic profile is required. Programming skills would be useful.

The role is budgeted to pay a year one $300-350k total comp package (it is possible to earn more than this in future years). My client will also offer the hire a sign-on bonus. The firm have a market leading benefits package in addition to this.
