We're recruiting for an early stage/start-up Hedge Fund. The firm was established in 2016 with a global investment approach. It prides itself on cutting edge, proprietary research tools in order to deliver superior returns.

The role is a first-time appointment. The successful candidate will be responsible for establishing the finance function and providing key operational and finance support to the partners.

Key responsibilities will include: 

  • Establishing robust finance, risk management and operational procedures;
  • Financial control of the business, including expense and liquidity management;
  • Overseeing the budgeting process and preparation of management information;
  • Structuring of the firm's funds for regulatory and tax purposes;
  • Oversight and co-ordination of the fund reporting, control and administration;
  • Co-ordination of the annual audit process;
  • Ensuring the firm meets its external reporting obligations on a timely and accurate basis; and
  • Leading on operational matters such as those relating to HR, IT, property etc.

It's an excellent opportunity to join a well-capitalised start-up, and there is clear potential for the role to evolve over time. Once a strong working relationship with the founders has been established, the right candidate could also add value to the firm's structuring, execution, marketing & fundraising activities and other areas to the extent they are able to.

The appointee will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) and experienced hedge fund CFO or Finance Director. Our client could also consider someone at the Financial Controller level in a hedge fund - the client is open to either level. Attitude and cultural fit will be essential and hedge fund is experience is also essential.
