Job description

The Role

A single-manager hedge fund running purely systematic strategies is looking to hire an experienced Investment Operations Manager. Our client is preparing to commence trading from the ADGM in the coming weeks and needs an experienced Operations Manager to lead both their middle office and operations function. The Operations Manager will be involved in the following areas including trade execution and settlement, performance analysis, regulatory reporting, technology and infrastructure, as well as vendor management. As our client will focus on systematic strategies across multiple asset classes, for that reason, there will be a significant emphasis on the technology aspects, making prior exposure to systematic trading systems essential. This role provides an outstanding opportunity in building a middle office structure from the ground up and adding unique touch to the area.

Requirements

To be considered for this role, the successful candidate must have a minimum of 5 years' experience in trade operations within a systematic strategy at a hedge fund or sophisticated family office. Our client can be flexible on the asset class exposure, however, a background across multi-asset strategies is strongly preferred.
