Qualified Actuary - Hedge Fund / Quantitative Operations
We are working with a highly successful London-based hedge fund that has an excellent track record of hiring high-performing actuaries into broad, non-traditional roles.
They are looking for an ambitious qualified actuary, from recently qualified through to approximately 2-3 years PQE, to work closely with the firm's CIO across a deliberately wide-ranging remit.
This is not a traditional actuarial role, nor is it an investment decision-making position. Instead, the role sits across the middle and back office infrastructure of the hedge fund, providing exposure to virtually every aspect of how the firm operates outside of making the investment calls themselves.
Only around one-third of the role is expected to consist of recurring finance, treasury and operational reporting. The majority will be much more fluid: solving problems, improving and automating processes, interrogating data and taking ownership of ad hoc analytical, operational and strategic projects across areas including finance, treasury, fund operations, investor relations, governance and compliance.
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.
The precise remit is intentionally broad and will evolve around the individual's strengths and the areas where they can add most value.
They are particularly interested in actuaries who can demonstrate:
- A strong academic record and track record of high performance
- Excellent numerical, analytical and problem-solving ability
- Experience improving, automating or redesigning processes
- Strong data skills; Python, R, SQL, AI or broader data science experience would be particularly valuable
- Intellectual curiosity and comfort tackling problems without an obvious predefined solution
- Commercial judgement, attention to detail and genuine ownership of outcomes
- A confident, dynamic interpersonal style and the ability to work directly with senior decision-makers

This would suit someone who has performed strongly within actuarial but is attracted to applying those skills in a faster-moving, broader and more commercial environment, with visibility across the inner workings of a successful hedge fund.
The long-term opportunity is significant. The firm is looking for someone with the capability and ambition to progressively take on broader responsibility across finance, operations and the wider infrastructure of the business.
For the right individual, this role could ultimately provide a pathway towards becoming a COO or CFO within the hedge fund industry.
