Operations Analyst

I’m partnering with a leading global hedge fund on an urgent hire into their London Operations team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced buy-side Operations professional who has developed strong expertise across asset servicing, corporate actions and the full trade lifecycle and is looking to join a sophisticated, multi-asset investment environment.

The opportunity

You’ll support a complex portfolio across equities, credit, structured products, repo financing and OTC derivatives/swaps, taking ownership of operational workflows from trade capture through settlement and subsequent lifecycle events.

This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility and interaction across Trading, Treasury, Finance and Technology, as well as external prime brokers, custodians, counter parties, transfer agents and administrators.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing complex corporate actions and asset servicing events

• Processing dividends, coupons, restructurings and PIK elections

• Managing physical settlements, re-registrations and DWAC activity

• Overseeing trade capture, settlement and lifecycle events

• Managing daily cash, position and transaction reconciliations

• Investigating and resolving breaks and operational exceptions

• Supporting financing activity, including repo

• Working across equities, credit, structured products and OTC derivatives/swaps

• Partnering with internal and external stakeholders to resolve complex operational issues

• Supporting month-end processes, controls and audit requirements

• Contributing to automation, workflow optimisation and AI-driven efficiency initiatives

Who I’m looking for

You’ll ideally have 4–5 years of Operations experience gained directly within a hedge fund or investment fund environment.

⚠️ For this particular search, direct fund experience is essential.

You should have strong hands-on knowledge of:

✓ Asset servicing

✓ Corporate actions

✓ Equities and credit products

✓ Trade settlements and lifecycle management

✓ Cash, position and transaction reconciliations

✓ Restructurings / PIKs / complex lifecycle events

✓ Physical settlements

✓ Repo and/or OTC derivatives exposure

Geneva experience would be a significant advantage.

Additional exposure to Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI or automation tools would also be highly regarded.

Why consider it?

This isn't a narrow settlements or reconciliations position. It's an opportunity to join a highly regarded global investment firm and take on a broad, technically challenging Operations role supporting complex investment strategies and products.

The team is looking for someone intelligent, highly detail-oriented and commercially aware, someone who enjoys solving difficult operational problems and continuously improving how things are done.

⏱️ This is an urgent hire and the process is moving quickly.
