Summary

This role offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced tech manager to lead a talented Treasury engineering team at one of the world's most prestigious hedge funds.

This is a critical initiative for the firm, with significant visibility across Treasury, Risk Managers, Portfolio Managers, Business Managers, and the office of the CIO.

As Team Lead, your role is pivotal in ensuring the right system design, managing the project roadmap, and representing the team with senior stakeholders. You'll guide a strong team of engineers - currently 3 and rising to 5 - to build, iterate, and expand a proof-of-concept system into a robust suite of analytics and tools. The project will run for several years; starting with margin replication models, then broadening into other areas of Treasury to shape something truly impactful.
