Chief of Staff (CIO Office) – Hedge Fund

A high-profile, global multi-manager hedge fund are looking to make a London based ‘Chief of Staff’ hire. As the fund continues to expand and diversify, the lead Portfolio Manager for the firm’s flagship European strategy is looking for a Chief of Staff to ‘take weight’ off his remit / the remit of the investment team.

The Chief of Staff will be a sounding board for business buildouts / strategy, implement strategic objectives (business buildouts / launches, technology advancements etc.), be the first point of call for the investment team regarding issues / challenges faced, and more generally they will look to deliver better collaboration & visibility between the PM and the firm’s support functions.

As a proportion of the role will be ‘problem solving’, the hire will be expected to deliver detailed analytics / presentations / reports to managing partners of the firm. This is a highly visible and autonomous role, at an exciting growth point for the firm – the hire will likely also have strong exposure and influence (via project work) with regards to growth plans for APAC and MENA.

Candidates would ideally be existing traders / investment professionals looking for a new focus, or ex-Traders currently working for a top tier management consulting firm. A current hedge fund business manager/COO/strategy type would also be considered. An exceptional academic record and additional industry qualifications are required.
