The Role

Hedge Fund/ Asset Management Trade Support – (Graduate with 1-3-years’ Operations exp and ideally some coding such as SQL, VBA and/ or Python)

Martis Search are representing a boutique City of London based Asset Management company that also supports Alternative Investment strategies to hire a permanent “Hedge Fund/ Asset Management Trade Support Analyst.”

The company boasts a truly entrepreneurial spirit. It is dynamic and forward-thinking, constantly launching new businesses, new funds, new global geographical locations; but still maintains the vibe of an “investment boutique.”

The role supports existing company Funds, as well as newer UCTIS Fund launches from both this year, as well as to support up-coming 2025 Fund launches.

Our client is in need of someone, ideally from an Institutional Asset Management, or Hedge Fund Trade Support/ Middle Office/ Operations background who has a sound knowledge of Equity Trade Support/ Operations covering Middle Office (i.e. Trade Capture, Trade Support, Corporate Action, Reconciliations, and Trade Confirmation, or Settlements), as well as Fund Administration (i.e. NAV’s/ Valuations) across Cash Equities, Fixed Income, FX, or Derivatives asset-classes.

Due to the size of the company, you will need to be a self-starter, to doing both BAU Middle Office and related “Project Management” work and have support of both the “Senior Operations Manager” (who you would report into) and the wider Operations team in London. In addition, there is also the genuine chance to help out with the “setting up of new fund launches”, as well as implementing new systems and processes.

There is future promotional opportunities with the potential to become an “Operations Manager” after a period of time and once you have proved yourself – our client is looking for someone with that type of ambition, initiative and ability too.

Our client will also potentially look at “sellside” experience, but only if they could demonstrate being able to fit into a smaller Asset Management type set-up.

Our client is looking for a 2:1 graduate calibre (in a numerate subject such as Mathematics, Economics, Engineering etc) with between x 1-3-year’s level relevant Trade Support experience. Having the IMC is highly desirable, but not essential, as well as having strong Excel skills, or VBA, Python, SQL, or JAVA coding experience.

Lastly, having any working experience of an industry standard OMS such as Broadridge Paladyne, or Enfusion is highly advantageous.

In-our-opinion, this is a really good and interesting company, with a great Head of Operations and supporting an exciting Fund Management business.

The company offer a hybrid mix of “working-from-home” and also in-the-office, so you get the best of both worlds.
