Compensation Analyst - Leading Prop Trading Firm - Excellent Base/Bonus and Market Leading Benefits

We are working with a leading prop trading firm (US headquartered) helping them secure a Compensation Analyst who will be their first London-based hire. This newly created position will sit within a small, high-performing team and play a key role in developing a best-in-class, scalable function to support ongoing business growth.

This role sits within their global compensation accounting team and reports directly to the Head of Payroll and Rewards. You will take ownership of the EMEA-focused workstreams, supporting the accounting for payroll, deferred compensation, bonuses, and equity reward structures. You’ll oversee third-party vendors involved in month-end and year-end reporting, while ensuring the integrity of the general ledger. The role liaises closely with HR, investment professionals, and the wider Finance team to execute responsibilities effectively. As the firm continues to scale, there will be a strong focus on process automation, streamlined communication, and improving compensation models—offering both high visibility and excellent long-term progression.

We’re looking to speak with experienced compensation accountants with a minimum of 2 years' experience within a financial services firm (hedge fund or investment bank desirable) or complex multinational organisation. Prior experience reviewing third-party vendors, managing multi-entity processes, and working closely with HR or investment teams is desirable.

The firm offers a competitive base salary, a discretionary bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package. They operate a hybrid working model (typically 3 days in the office) and promote a collaborative culture.
