Job Description:

A major quant strategy hedge fund is looking to make a unique hire into its expanding London-based trade support team.

The role has a core tech/development focus, involving a heavily analytical, hands-on approach to typical trade support responsibilities, emphasizing automation and process improvement projects. The role also involves working on ad-hoc projects for the tech, quant, and investment teams. Although not required on day one, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to learn Python, SQL, VBA, and R to a strong standard, along with some Matlab, C++, and C#.

This position is ideal for a current operations, middle office, or trade support analyst from an IB, hedge fund, or prop firm, with strong technical skills seeking to utilize and enhance these skills. The role offers potential for advancement into management or transition into tech, quant, or front-office teams, with opportunities to move overseas to the firm’s HQ or other offices.

Candidates should have 2-5 years of relevant line operations or trade support experience, a strong STEM-focused academic background, and advanced coding skills, preferably in Python.

The role offers a £65-85k base salary, providing a significant step up for candidates within this experience range. Top performers will be rewarded with a large percentage bonus in the first year, with substantial growth prospects in subsequent years.
