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 strong growth and, following an internal restructure, aims to hire a backfill Head of Operations (including a handover period).

The hire will manage a small team, handle key internal and external stakeholders, and lead projects such as new tool development, system implementations, and onboarding new service providers.

The ideal candidate is a senior buy-side operations analyst or existing operations manager seeking their first step-up to a Head of Operations role. Hands-on BAU experience is more critical than managerial experience, though supervisory experience is advantageous. Strong academic records and industry qualifications are preferred.

The role offers a first-year salary of £140-170k TC with expected strong year-on-year growth.

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