A global multi-strategy hedge fund, with a rapidly expanding European office, are looking to make a senior operations / middle office hire in London.

The headcount is newly created, sitting between the analysts and Head of Operations / Middle Office. The role has oversight responsibility for BAU processes, junior team members, and outsourced service providers. The nature of the role and the fact that the firm place a strong importance on technology means that the role is lighter on hands-on, manual work, instead focused on both higher level and analytical tasks within operations. The role will sit with a high-profile, expanding bank of traders. The remit will also have a strong project component, predominantly centred around process improvement, automation, and infrastructure buildouts, however traders will often task the new hire with non-tech focused projects.

Candidates should have 5-10yrs experience in hedge fund operations / middle office. IB candidates with broad derivatives experience could be considered. The firm place a high importance on academic profile and advanced tech skills for all non-investment hiring.

The role can pay up to a £120k base salary and it should pay a circa 50% bonus potential (a variable either side is dependant on fund and individual performance). Benefits include fully subsidised food, gym, gold package private healthcare, 10% pension and 30 days annual leave.
