Senior Compliance Associate – Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund
Role Overview
We are looking for a driven, hands-on Compliance Officer to join a high-calibre, fast-paced multi-strategy hedge fund. Reporting to the Head of Compliance in London, this is a broad generalist role suited to a proactive self-starter who thrives in a collaborative environment and takes genuine ownership of their work.
The fund operates at a high standard and moves quickly but prides itself on a supportive, collegiate culture where people are valued as much as performance. Cultural fit is as important as technical ability. The successful candidate will be comfortable rolling up their sleeves across a wide compliance remit, working closely with colleagues across the business.
