Overview

A boutique and growing private credit fund is looking to hire an Operations Analyst into a newly created position in London. The firm is in growth mode, currently fundraising and broadening its platform. This role will report directly to the COO, offering the chance to work closely with an experienced and hands-on operator who is keen to mentor and develop the right person. The set up ensures significant exposure across the business and you’ll interact with fund finance, investor relations, and the investment team, while gaining genuine end to end visibility. The fund is seeking someone ambitious, detail orientated, and motivated to carve out a long term career in operations. This is an excellent opportunity for someone from a prime brokerage or fund admin firm who is looking to make a first move in-house. Or someone from a competitor fund who is looking for a fresh challenge.

Responsibilities

• Manage the trade lifecycle: support booking, settlements, reconciliations, and monitoring of positions
• Third-party coordination: act as a day-to-day contact for administrators, custodians, and other service providers
• Audit support: assist with collation of documentation and responses to audit queries
• Fund expenses: support accounts payable, ensuring timely processing of fund costs
• Onboarding & compliance: manage set-up of service providers and counterparties, handling AML/KYC requirements
• Cash & liquidity: contribute to cash flow projections, liquidity monitoring, and FX hedging oversight
• Operational projects: play an active role in process improvement and ongoing business initiatives as the fund scales

Requirements

• Around 2 years’ experience in an operations role, backgrounds in prime brokerage, fund administration, or a competitor credit fund all considered
• Private credit product knowledge is essential (loans, bonds, or special situations instruments)
• Systems exposure to Geneva advantageous, but not essential
• Strong Excel skills; familiarity with data/BI tools a plus

Compensation on offer is around £55,000-£70,000 with a performance-related annual bonus.
