Job description

CassonX is delighted to be recruiting for a role within a well-known UK pension scheme provider that offers fiduciary management services. The company boasts a large AUM and values a culture of thoughtfulness and diversity, with many employees enjoying long tenures. It provides a hybrid working environment in the City of London, fostering a stress-free atmosphere compared to high-volume trading environments. We are partnering with this reputable business to find suitable candidates.

You do not need to be an established operations manager; CassonX considers candidates with senior team experience who can add value.

We seek candidates available to start by November 2025 to cover a paternity leave. This role is ideal for those from a fast-paced, highly technical multi-asset middle office or oversight role in Alternatives or Asset Management firms, looking for a more long-term, less stressful environment. Essential experience includes supporting derivative products, collateral, confirmations, transaction reporting, and partnering with custodians or outsourced middle office functions for trade lifecycle support. Demonstrated ability to ensure seamless BAU operations, investigate issues, and implement process improvements is preferred. Exposure to Front Arena is advantageous.

The role involves supporting all Hedging and Treasury activities, including Exchange Traded derivatives, OTC derivatives, FX, money markets, gilts, and repos. Responsibilities include BAU functions, process improvements, and efficiencies, with a focus on trade support, collateral management, settlements, and regulatory reporting (EMIR, SFTR, MiFIR). A detailed job description is available upon request with a relevant CV.

CassonX Limited is committed to fair employment opportunities for all applicants, promoting an inclusive recruitment process based on merit. If you require assistance during the interview process, please let us know.
