Trade Support - Systematic Hedge Fund - Excellent Compensation + Flexible WFH!

London, United Kingdom

Job Specifications

My client, a leading global systematic hedge fund, is seeking a Trade Support Analyst to join their London team.

Due to exceptionally low attrition, this is a rare opportunity to join the London trade support function. The only reason for this hire is that the current incumbent has transitioned into a front office role. With no separate trader assistant team, the trade support function acts as the first line of support to the front office. Most back-office BAU tasks are either outsourced or fully automated, with trade support providing only oversight. As a result, the team’s primary focus is on front office support, analytical work, and project-based initiatives.

The ideal candidate will have 1–5 years of experience in trade support, operations, or middle office roles, either on the sell-side or buy-side. Proficiency in Python is a pre-requisite, as the successful candidate will be involved in hands-on automation work from day one. Strong academic credentials are also required.

The role offers a £65-95k base salary, along with an industry-leading discretionary bonus, even in the first year. The firm also provides an excellent benefits package and flexible working arrangements, including the option to work from home.
