Middle Office Graduate Role – Systematic Hedge Fund
An award-winning systematic hedge fund is seeking a recent graduate to join its Middle Office team.
About the Role
This is far more than a traditional Middle Office role.
Given the firm’s systematic approach, all trading and operational systems are built in-house. You’ll be heavily involved in:
- Developing and enhancing proprietary systems alongside day-to-day operational duties
- Working in a highly technical team, where every member is proficient in Python and regularly uses SQL
You’ll also collaborate closely with Portfolio Managers to fulfil tasks such as:
- Trade matching with prime brokers and execution brokers
- Daily P&L monitoring
- Cash management
- Margin reconciliations
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of robust trading and operational systems
- Execute trade execution workflows and reconcile transactions with brokers
- Assist in end-of-day P&L valuation and variance analysis
- Support cash position management, including nettings and settlements
- Monitor and report on margin requirements and counterparty exposures
- Analyse system log files, errors, and performance metrics
- Develop automated scripts to improve operational efficiency
