A highly regarded alternative investment firm is looking to add a Trading Operations Associate / Trading Assistant to its growing team in New York.


This is an excellent opportunity for a Middle Office / Investment Operations professional looking to move into a more sophisticated, high-touch environment where they will work closely with the investment team and have meaningful exposure to the full trade lifecycle.


The firm has a lean, entrepreneurial culture with a collaborative team structure, strong investment platform, and an emphasis on developing its people. This is a role where someone can take ownership, work directly with senior professionals, and build a long-term career rather than being siloed within a large operations organization.

  • Manage trade processing, confirmations, settlements, reconciliations and exception resolution
  • Work closely with internal investment professionals, counterparties, prime brokers and other external partners
  • Support separately managed accounts and complex trade flows
  • Help monitor and resolve operational issues from trade execution through settlement
  • Partner across Operations, Trading and Investment teams to ensure the portfolio operates efficiently
  • Take ownership of projects and process improvements as the platform continues to grow


What They're Looking For

  • 3–7 years of experience in Middle Office, Investment Operations or Trade Operations
  • Background within a hedge fund, asset manager or investment
