A leading European hedge fund, with recent market leading performance and exponential growth, are looking to make a new created hire specific to its equities business.
The remit is to be the first London based Equity Swaps SME, with a focus on everything post-execution. The new hire will ‘take weight’ off the EMEA Head of Operations (tasks that he will train the hire to take on) + being the first point of contact / the point of escalation for internal & external stakeholders + managing key service providers, most notably prime broker relationships, all specific to European equity swaps trading. Responsibilities extend to partnering the business & technology on product enhancements & working with wider senior management on new business opportunities. The role provides unrivalled access & exposure to leading equity portfolio managers / traders.
Candidates should ideally have 5-10yrs experience in an IB or hedge fund operations / trade support / middle office role (we could potentially still consider a very strong junior to step up however, or a 10yrs+ person that remains hands-on). Naturally, candidates should have extensive knowledge / experience in equity swaps. Strong academic profiles are considered a pre-requisite. Any Python/VBA/SQL skills are beneficial.
The role is targeted to pay a year one £150-200k total comp (of which the lower end of the banding will be offered as a minimum guarantee). The successful hire will also receive an attractive sign on bonus.
