Trade Support Manager - Quant Hedge Fund - £80-120k base bonus

The firm have a strong operations/trade support team in place, but there is a gap between the analysts and the European HOO, hence why we are looking to make a newly created ‘manager’ level hire for the function.

The hire will work a broad remit which includes hands-on work (BAU work is not manual, it typically focuses on high level, deep and detailed analysis / oversight – the team are highly quantitative, using/learning python, VBA and SQL to a strong standard), supervisory responsibilities for the team, being the ‘go to person’ / SME for the European investment team that you face off to + project manager on major initiatives (typically focused on infrastructure buildouts / improvements).

Candidates should ideally have 5-10yrs experience in hedge fund operations / middle office (we could potentially consider either side of this). Programming skills are a requirement, as is an aptitude / desire to develop further. My client favours candidates with strong academic records.

The role has an £80-120k base salary band to ensure that the hire receives a strong step up on his/her current base. Bonuses are typically 50% but a range of 25-75% is suggested to factor in both individual and fund performance.
