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 cover vendor management and IT procurement across all jurisdictions where the fund operates.

The individual will work with teams across the entire 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 worldwide.

This role involves project work, including process improvement, mapping market vendors, and leading the implementation of new software and technology across the fund.

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

The client offers a first-year salary of £65-85k (significantly above current base), plus a substantial bonus for top performers. They also provide one of the best benefits packages in the London hedge fund industry.
