No previous financial experience required. This is a technology role, not a finance position. If you’re looking to get into a high-tech Hedge Fund, this is your chance. This is a small, lean team of technologists that you’ll be joining, all of whom are experts in their fields. You’ll be encouraged to learn as much as you possibly can, along with taking as much responsibility for solving issues.
It’s the ideal environment for you to join if you like taking the bull by the horns and suggesting new ways of doing things. Of course, you’ll need to ensure your solution is fit for purpose and is tested thoroughly before deploying, but your ideas will be listened to and if you’ve used something before that makes an improvement, your team will want to hear it.
You’ll be coming into the end user support team, helping a range of people at the firm, and solving all kinds of their issues. You’ll be responding to various kinds of tickets, and you’ll be encouraged to fulfil every ticket – with support from the team for anything you can’t solve right now.
Whether you’re onboarding new users, or solving a complex network performance issue, automation needs to be at the heart of everything you do. This is an extremely efficient technical environment and they’re keen to keep it that way.
You’re going to need to have experience in a similar IT Support role in a Microsoft environment. You’ll of course need to have strong PowerShell or Python to automate – you’ll need to show where you’ve done this before at interview. The rest will be down to your approach to problem solving and your ability to work closely with your colleagues.
There’s no set compensation range here, each offer delivered for each role is based on your situation and your requirements. Your compensation will be split between salary and bonuses and benefits include free food, barista coffee on-site, gym memberships, personal trainer on-site, pension, private healthcare and much more.
