I’m partnering with a leading global hedge fund on an urgent hire into their London Operations team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced buy-side Operations professional who has developed strong expertise across asset servicing, corporate actions and the full trade lifecycle and is looking to join a sophisticated, multi-asset investment environment.
The opportunity
You’ll support a complex portfolio across equities, credit, structured products, repo financing and OTC derivatives/swaps, taking ownership of operational workflows from trade capture through settlement and subsequent lifecycle events.
This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility and interaction across Trading, Treasury, Finance and Technology, as well as external prime brokers, custodians, counterparties, transfer agents and administrators.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Managing complex corporate actions and asset servicing events
• Processing dividends, coupons, restructurings and PIK elections
• Managing physical settlements, re-registrations and DWAC activity
• Overseeing trade capture, settlement and lifecycle events
• Managing daily cash, position and transaction reconciliations
• Investigating and resolving breaks and operational exceptions
• Supporting financing activity, including repo
• Working across equities, credit, structured products and OTC derivatives/swaps
• Partnering with internal and external stakeholders to resolve complex operational issues
• Supporting month-end processes, controls and audit requirements
• Contributing to automation, workflow optimisation and AI-driven efficiency initiatives
Who I’m looking for
You’ll ideally have 4–5 years of Operations experience gained directly within a hedge fund or investment fund environment.
⚠️ For this particular search, direct fund experience is essential.
You should have strong hands-on knowledge of:
✓ Asset servicing
✓ Corporate actions
✓ Equities and credit products
✓ Trade settlements and lifecycle management
✓ Cash, position and transaction reconciliations
✓ Restructurings / PIKs / complex lifecycle events
✓ Physical settlements
✓ Repo and/or OTC derivatives exposure
Geneva experience would be a significant advantage.
Additional exposure to Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI or automation tools would also be highly regarded.
Why consider it?
This isn't a narrow settlements or reconciliations position. It's an opportunity to join a highly regarded global investment firm and take on a broad, technically challenging Operations role supporting complex investment strategies and products.
The team is looking for someone intelligent, highly detail-oriented and commercially aware, someone who enjoys solving difficult operational problems and continuously improving how things are done.
⏱️ This is an urgent hire and the process is moving quickly.
