A fast-growing investment company is looking for a senior operations due-diligence professional. This person will take primary responsibility for reviewing new and existing hedge fund investments to expose potential for fraud and areas of unusual risk stemming from operational and/or financing problems.
Our client operates a rapidly growing and highly profitable fund of hedge funds business. The firm has grown its assets under management to almost $3 billion since its first fund launched in 2002. This 15-person company takes great pride in its professional approach to understanding alternative investment strategies and portfolio construction. The fund of funds team is comprised mainly of seasoned individuals with prior senior roles within major hedge funds. They offer new employees an opportunity to help shape a vibrant organization where excellence is the standard.
A qualified applicant must have outstanding written and oral communication skills and should be smart, dedicated, hard-working, proactive, trustworthy, unusually organized, highly detail-sensitive and a team player.
It is expected that each applicant will be able to demonstrate both superior academic performance and relevant professional experience. The best-prepared candidates will have a broad range of expertise from inside a multi-strategy hedge fund operation (e.g., CFO, COO, controller or other senior role). Valuable experience might also include leading positions with connection to the hedge fund industry (Wall Street firm operations, hedge fund auditor or hedge fund legal staff). Experience with highly complex derivative operations and settlement responsibilities is a plus. While most qualified applicants will have at least seven years of relevant experience, the primary requirements are the quality of fit within our client’s analytical culture and the capability and desire to excel in this role.
