Fund Operations Analyst

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 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 - very outgoing group looking for energetic and interactive folks.
