Coopman Search Opportunity
Coopman Search is currently engaged on an outstanding opportunity to join a high growth multi-strategy hedge fund as a Senior Associate Product Controller to join their Finance team. This role sits between finance and technology, requiring close partnership with quantitative researchers, portfolio managers, and engineering teams to ensure accurate, timely, and highly automated reporting across a high-volume, multi-asset systematic trading environment.
This is a step-up role for someone ready to take ownership of a strategy or asset class with greater autonomy and mentorship.
Responsibilities
- Ownership of daily flash and official P&L production for one or more systematic strategies (equities, futures, FX, or systematic macro/credit)
- Investigate and resolve P&L breaks between the strategy's internal models and the books and records, working directly with quant researchers and PMs
- Perform independent price verification (IPV) and validate model-driven marks, including for less liquid or harder-to-price instruments
- Reconcile positions, cash, and high-volume trade flow with prime brokers, executing brokers, and fund administrators
- Monitor risk, exposure, and factor attribution reporting, flagging anomalies stemming from model changes, data issues, or corporate actions
- Partner with engineering and quant research teams on trade capture logic, data pipeline issues, and systematic rebalancing/lifecycle events
- Support month-end NAV close, expense accruals, and fund administrator oversight
- Lead onboarding of new systematic strategies, including automated P&L and control framework design
