Financial Controller Opportunity at a Leading Alternative Investment Manager
Autumnal Partners is collaborating with a top-tier alternative investment manager in hedge fund and private credit strategies to hire an exceptional Financial Controller.
The firm is undergoing a major transformation of its finance function, aiming to rethink, rebuild, and scale its existing infrastructure with technology, automation, and AI at its core.
About the Role
This role is not your typical Financial Controller position. Alongside traditional financial control and reporting duties, the successful candidate will be instrumental in examining current processes, identifying areas for simplification or automation, and assisting in the design and implementation of a more efficient and scalable finance operating model.
Key Responsibilities
- Ownership of financial control, reporting, and month-end processes
- Reviewing and redesigning existing finance processes and controls
- Helping build a scalable finance infrastructure to support business growth
- Identifying opportunities to automate manual and repetitive finance processes
- Collaborating with technology and data teams to integrate AI, automation, and improved data architecture across finance
- Enhancing the quality, speed, and accessibility of management information
- Developing controls and governance around new technology-enabled processes
- Working closely with senior finance leadership on the broader transformation of the function
- Supporting and developing the wider finance team through significant change
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
We seek an outstanding qualified accountant with a robust background in financial control and reporting, preferably within an asset manager, hedge fund, private credit manager, or broader financial services organization.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The successful candidate will blend strong accounting and control expertise with a keen interest in technology, automation, and the practical application of AI within finance. You do not need to be a technologist, but you should be intellectually curious about how finance functions can operate differently and have the ability to understand existing processes, challenge why they are done that way, and help build something better.
Why This Opportunity?
This role is ideal for someone eager to do more than maintain an established finance function. The mandate is to help dismantle the current function, understand what needs to remain, and rebuild it for the next stage of the firm's development.
