Hedge Fund Operations Opportunities - L/S Equity, Multi-Strategy & Quant Funds
Experience: 4-12+ years
I am exclusively representing a select group of hedge funds - from pedigreed long/short equity shops to global multi-strategy platforms and systematic/quant managers - to appoint high-calibre operations professionals. These are front-to-back, business-critical roles where operations staff work shoulder-to-shoulder with investment teams, risk, and senior leadership.
What You Will Be Doing - Depending on the fund strategy, you will be responsible for:
- Trade lifecycle management: Trade capture, affirmation, monitoring breaks/mismatches across equities, derivatives, fixed income, FX, listed & OTC products.
- Treasury & financing: Margin optimisation, cash/stock lending, collateral management, funding oversight.
- P&L support & reconciliation: Ensuring accuracy of portfolio data for portfolio managers and risk reporting.
- Operational risk & controls: Safeguarding integrity of the investment process, ensuring platform resilience.
- Projects & process improvement: Contributing to automation, technology rollouts, and best-practice operational frameworks.
- Partnering with investment teams: Direct interaction with portfolio managers, analysts, and senior stakeholders.
Experience Levels We Are Targeting
4-6 years experience:
- Hands-on daily trade support and reconciliations across multiple asset classes.
- Exposure to treasury/collateral, comfortable escalating and resolving breaks independently.
- Ability to operate confidently with prime brokers, administrators, and trading desks.
6-8 years experience:
- Broader remit covering middle-office oversight, P&L checks, portfolio data integrity.
- Increasing involvement in regulatory reporting, operational risk management, and process ownership.
- Lead initiatives (automation, vendor selection, onboarding of new products).
8-12 years experience:
- Senior operations leadership: supervising processes end-to-end and acting as the point of escalation for investment teams.
- Direct responsibility for treasury strategy (cash, collateral, liquidity management).
- Influencing COO-level decisions and designing operational architecture to scale with growth.
- Trusted partner to portfolio managers and senior management on new fund launches, product expansion, and infrastructure transformation.
What We Are Looking For
- Hedge fund, multi-strategy, sell-side or buy-side operations experience.
- Deep product knowledge across equities, fixed income, OTC derivatives, FX, and synthetic financing.
- Comfort operating in lean environments with high visibility.
- Problem-solvers who thrive in intellectually demanding, fast-moving markets.
