Fund Operations Analyst
Dallas, TX (Uptown)
Vaco has partnered with one of our investment management & advisory clients looking to onboard a Fund Analyst due to the growth of the department. Analysts will be responsible for supporting the day‑to‑day operational activities of investment funds, ensuring accuracy in reporting, compliance with regulatory requirements, and efficient execution of transactions.
This is a client‑facing role and candidates need to be very polished as they will be interacting with high‑net‑worth individuals, participating in internal calls, and working with the internal BD team as well.
Company offers unlimited PTO, 100% paid benefits (health, dental, vision), and a gym onsite. Additionally, Vaco placed an Analyst on the team last year and has given us glowing feedback on the team and culture – a very outgoing group looking for energetic and interactive folks.
