An established, high performing NYC based credit strategy Hedge Fund are looking to hire an experienced analyst into their trade support team.
The role has a broad remit across settlements, reconciliations, pricing and valuations. As it is focused on the firm’s derivatives book, the hire can expect close exposure to the investment team, regularly also working on ad-hoc projects for portfolio managers and traders.
Tech enhancement projects form an important part of the remit – the hire will be trained to use VBA and python to a strong standard (both internally and on external courses). You will also have the option to study for CFA (fully subsidised + study days).
Historically, internally this role will lead into a more senior operations role (supervisory), a role in risk or treasury, or for exceptional performers moves into front office are not uncommon (the role is available as the current incumbent is moving into trading).
We are looking for candidates with 2-5yrs relevant experience at a hedge fund or IB, with strong academics in finance, economics or a STEM topic ideally. Candidates must have gained good experience covering fixed income / credit markets. A passion for financial markets is key. An ability to communicate and present yourself well at all times, work hard and have intellectual curiosity is important. Ideally, candidates will have some form of advanced tech skills.
The role is paying up to a $130k base salary. A top performer will earn a large % of his/her base as a bonus.
