Job Description:

This is an exceptional opportunity for a senior professional within the valuations team of a highly prestigious hedge fund in London. Due to numerous years of outstanding performance, they are looking to add an experienced professional to support their cross-asset valuation platform.

This is a new role reporting to a successful Head of Fund Finance. The role involves working alongside an established team responsible for fund accounting and valuations, focusing primarily on valuations for hedge fund products (equities, bonds, complex derivatives) and some private equity valuations. The role includes implementing valuation methodologies and models to determine fair value, considering market data, pricing models, and risk factors. It offers significant exposure across the business, with regular interactions with different teams. The role has a 60/40 split between valuation work and process improvement, requiring candidates with strong SQL or Python skills. An interest in tech/systems projects and the ability to initiate new ideas are important, as well as working directly with the tech team to project manage initiatives.

The firm seeks qualified accountants with experience in complex products. Candidates should have strong academic backgrounds and excellent communication skills. Experience with improvement projects and strong Excel/SQL skills are desirable.

The base salary offers a significant uplift based on experience, with potential for 40%+ bonuses in the first year. The offices are impressive, featuring multiple in-house restaurants, a gym, and a collaborative social culture.
