A leading European hedge fund, with recent market leading performance and exponential growth, is looking to make a newly created hire specific to its equities business.
The remit is to be the first London-based Equity Swaps SME, focusing 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), act as the first point of contact and escalation for internal and external stakeholders, and manage key service providers, most notably prime broker relationships, all specific to European equity swaps trading.
Responsibilities extend to partnering with the business and technology on product enhancements and working with wider senior management on new business opportunities. The role provides unrivalled access and exposure to leading equity portfolio managers and traders.
Candidates should ideally have 5-10 years of experience in an IB or hedge fund operations, trade support, or middle office role (we could potentially still consider a very strong junior to step up, however, or a 10+ years person that remains hands-on). Candidates should have extensive knowledge and experience in equity swaps. Strong academic profiles are considered a prerequisite. Any Python, VBA, or SQL skills are beneficial.
The role is targeted to pay a year one total compensation of £150-200k (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.
