Job Description:

A boutique hedge fund, with a sizeable, rapidly expanding AUM and recent market-leading performance, is looking to hire a new Head of Operations.

The firm is experiencing a strong growth period and, following an internal restructure, seeks to hire a backfill Head of Operations (including a handover period).

The hire will manage a small team with a dual hands-on and managerial role, oversee key internal and external stakeholders, and lead projects such as new tool development, system implementations, and onboarding of new service providers.

The ideal candidate is a senior buy-side operations analyst or current operations manager seeking to advance to a Head of Operations role. Hands-on BAU experience is more critical than managerial experience, though supervisory experience is a plus. Strong academic records and industry qualifications are desirable.

The role offers a first-year salary of £140-170k TC, with strong growth prospects annually.

Remote work is possible 2 days per week once the candidate is settled in the role.
