A major quant strategy hedge fund are looking to make a unique hire into its expanding London based trade support team.
The role has a core tech / development focus – this is to run what is a heavily analytical hands-on approach to typical trade support responsibilities (as opposed to manual processing) + to constantly run a large volume of automation / process improvement projects, but to also regularly work on ad-hoc projects for the tech, quant and investment teams. Whilst not a pre-requisite day one, the hire will go on to learn Python/SQL/VBA/R to a strong standard (and some Matlab, C++ & C#).
This is a perfect role for a current operations / middle office / trade support analyst, at an IB, hedge fund or prop firm, who has strong technical skills but that is struggling to use them and/or improve on them in practice. The role can lead to a managerial position in the team as it builds out, or moves directly into a tech, quant, or front office team (+ there is also the potential to move overseas to the firm’s HQ or a developing office elsewhere).
Candidates should have 2-6yrs relevant line operations/trade support experience, a strong STEM focused academic background and some form of advanced coding skills (preference for python).
The role has a £60-90k base salary band to allow for a strong step up for anybody in the target experience range. A top performer can achieve a 50% bonus year one, however there are variables either side of this pending individual and company performance (+the opportunity for much bugger upside in years 2/3+ etc.).
