We are partnering with a newly launched Credit Hedge Fund backed by one of the most prestigious hedge-funds globally. This high-profile fund is looking to add a Financial Controller to the team ahead of further growth to aid in the development of their finance functions.
Being a young and relatively small firm, they have a lean team and hence will initially be a very hands on role. The role will support everyday tasks such as financial/management accounting (under IFRS), budget and forecasting, overseeing bookkeeping across different jurisdictions, and regulatory reporting. This hire will work directly with the COO, influencing the development of the infrastructure for the hedge fund, taking ownership on developing the accounting systems. Additionally, you will lead on managing the firm’s outsourced service providers, reviewing third-party work while teaching them the fund’s standards and processes. With the backing of the larger Hedge Fund, they firm have aggressive growth targets and as a result the role will grow and complexity increase over time.
The team is looking for fully qualified candidates with a minimum of 8 years total experience (must be qualified). Prior experience working at a hedge fund is highly desirable (must have an experience working within another financial services firm) and audit experience is a plus. Max 2 weeks notice.
This is a newly created, critical hire for the business so the team are prepared to offer strong compensation which will offer a significant increase on your current total compensation. They have modern offices in Mayfair and a collaborative and progressive culture.
