Job description

Soros Fund Management LLC (SFM) is a global asset manager and family office founded by George Soros in 1970. With $28 billion in assets under management (AUM), SFM serves as the principal asset manager for the Open Society Foundations, one of the world’s largest charitable foundations dedicated to advancing justice, human rights, and democracy.

Distinct from other investment platforms, SFM thrives on agility, acting decisively when conviction is high and exercising patience when it’s not. With permanent capital, a select group of major clients, and an unconstrained mandate, we invest opportunistically with a long‑term view. Our teams operate with autonomy, while cross‑team collaboration strengthens our conviction and empowers us to capitalize on market dislocations.

At SFM, we foster an ownership mindset, encouraging professionals to challenge the status quo, innovate, and take initiative. We prioritize development, enabling team members to push beyond their roles, voice bold ideas, and contribute to our long‑term success. This culture of continuous growth and constructive debate fuels innovation and drives efficiency.

Our impact is measured by both the returns we generate and the values we uphold, from environmental stewardship to social responsibility. Operating as a unified team across geographies and mandates, we remain committed to our mission, ensuring a meaningful, lasting impact.

Headquartered in New York City with offices in Greenwich, Garden City, London, and Dublin, SFM employs 200 professionals.

Job Overview

We are seeking a high‑caliber candidate to join our P&L / Reference Data Team. The role involves close collaboration with our investment, trade support, technology, and risk teams, focusing on the daily production and reconciliation of real‑time (intra‑day) and end‑of‑day P&L. The analyst will also be responsible for daily pricing, security master setup, OTC model setup, data maintenance and support, and month‑end pricing. An ideal candidate should have between 3‑7 years of industry experience, a familiarity with coding and dealing with large datasets or interfacing with databases, and specific expertise in pricing of OTC derivatives (Equity/FX/Rates) and fixed‑income products including convertible bonds and structured products (MBS/ABS/CLO).

Major Responsibilities

• Pricing of all securities (listed and OTC) using vendor and internal price sources.
• Leverage software & AI (SQL, Python, Excel, ChatGPT, Claude) and coordinate with multiple teams across the firm to redesign & enhance our processes to produce, monitor, and validate P&L data.
• Review pricing and P&L validations (threshold, zero prices, stale reports) and ensure correct product identifiers are used to source accurate pricing from data providers.
• Investigate issues on a real‑time basis and complete EOD market value/P&L reconciliations to ensure valuations are completed with accuracy.
• Coordinate daily pricing and P&L production with our Administrator.
• Assist with month‑end price testing of all products, including Structured Products and OTC derivatives. This includes validating prices against independent source values, which necessitates understanding the source of the price discrepancy and providing proper documentation consistent with the firm’s valuation policy.
• Work closely with investment teams, fund accountants, external audit and coordinate with third‑party Fund Admin & valuation vendors.
• Monitor reconciliations to ensure consistent data flow between systems.
• Create new securities across systems to ensure accuracy and consistency of set up.
• Set up and maintain bond, swap, and credit curve generators.

What We Value

• Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Mathematics, Computer Science or Accounting required.
• ~3‑7+ years of relevant experience.
• Broad product and P&L knowledge in fixed income, rates, or listed and OTC instruments.
• Strong reference data background, understanding of centralized database & coding concepts.
• Familiarity with market data providers (e.g. Bloomberg, Markit, IDC, etc.).
• Comprehensive knowledge of a broad range of investment products and services, and securities processing experience.
• Strong knowledge of Excel (pivot tables and macros, etc.) & basic coding skills (e.g. SQL, Python, R) to organize data and build systematic or automated workflows.
• Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively.
• Personal accountability, integrity and motivation to own tasks and drive team objectives.
• Able to manage shifting priorities within a fast‑paced environment.
• High attention to detail.

Salary

We anticipate the base salary of this role to be between $100,000–135,000. In addition to a base salary, the successful candidate will also be eligible to receive a discretionary year‑end bonus.
