Job description

A boutique, expanding London based hedge fund, are looking to make a newly created ‘Business Support Officer' hire.

Whilst the fund is doing very well, there are many pressure points where the business can be performing better (mainly due to managing partners not having the bandwidth to either get into the detail of specific tasks, or them not having the time required to chase ‘lower priority’ work to be executed) - the new hire will effectively manage / oversee areas of the business, taking a large list of priorities / deliverables from senior management and making sure that they are executed / delivered upon in an efficient timeframe. The bandwidth is broad, for example helping the marketing team with new contracts and/or access to new jurisdictions, managing the onboarding / implementation / integration of new IT systems, supporting operations and compliance team members by pushing deliverables that external service providers are falling behind on and/or have not delivered correctly on, sitting in on monthly executive committee meetings to take minutes and follow up on what was discussed with the relevant parties to ensure delivery, project managing a new office move front-to-back etc. The hire should also work using their own initiative, creating their own firmwide projects to lead (for example, he/she might ask, ‘what improved processes or new procedures do we need in place to ensure better delivery of X’).

To an extent, we are flexible on the profile of candidate. Most likely it could be a current ‘chief of staff’ or ‘business manager’ type from a boutique fund, it could be an individual who has worked across a variety of non-investment functions who is now looking for a broader role, it could also be a very smart office manager type who feels wasted in their current remit. Strong academics, a high attention to detail and first-class organisational skills are essential.

The role will pay up to a £100k base salary. A high-performing individual will earn a large % of this number in a year-end bonus.

Please note that it is possible to WFH 1 day per week and there is an option for some flexibility on days and/or hours spent in the office if required (for parents having to do school runs for example) – that said, it will be important for this hire to be based in the office to maximise his/her impact.
