Chief of Staff (CEO office) - Global Hedge Fund

Our client, a market-leading global hedge fund, is looking to make its first London-based Chief of Staff hire, working directly with the CEO.

As the firm continues to expand its global footprint across the US, APAC and the Middle East, the CEO is looking for a right-hand individual to support the execution of key strategic initiatives across both the investment and non-investment sides of the business. From an investment perspective, the hire will work closely with senior PMs across multiple strategies, driving initiatives such as entering new jurisdictions, partnering with product teams to launch new trading products and establishing new counterparty relationships. On the non-investment side, the individual will execute strategic priorities on behalf of the CEO, working directly with senior functional leaders across technology, AI, finance, legal and other areas to ensure key initiatives are delivered. The hire will also play an influential role in the firm’s international growth plans, including the build-out of new offices as the business enters its next phase of expansion.

Our client is open to several backgrounds for the hire – a management consultant with prior markets experience; a buy-side candidate already operating within a Chief of Staff, COO or business management function; or a strong banking Business Manager / COO with markets exposure who is looking to step into a more hands-on and strategically impactful role. Exceptional academics (and ideally additional industry qualifications) are a prerequisite regardless of experience.
