Job Description:

My client, a global, market-leading hedge fund, is looking to make a high-priority, newly created hire for their London-based Vendor Management team.

The hire will be trained to take on a global remit and act as the main point of contact and chief liaison between the fund and third-party software and technology providers. The role will sit in a centralized vendor management function based in London but will have coverage of vendor management and IT procurement across all jurisdictions where the fund operates.

The individual will work with teams across the fund, including investment team heads, traders, technology, compliance, and business management. Responsibilities include managing contracts (renewals, adjustments, negotiations), onboarding new software vendors, and improving BCP and connectivity for employees globally.

This role involves project work, focusing on process improvement, market vendor analysis, and implementing new software and technology across the fund.

Ideal candidates should have 2-5 years of experience in data or procurement, with advantageous experience in third-party vendor management, IT procurement, contract renewals, or licensing. Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder engagement skills are essential. A degree or solid academic background in a relevant field is preferred.

The client offers a first-year salary of £65-85k, with a significant bonus for top performers, and one of the best benefits packages in the London hedge fund space.
