This small team has an outstanding leader, offering team oriented and fun working conditions, and prides themself on being exceptional at developing talent in their team, whilst rewarding with outstanding bonuses. This really is a great opportunity for someone.

To be considered for this fabulous opportunity, CassonX are looking to identify someone who is ideally coming from a sell side institution (Tier 1 or Tier 2) and would like to embark on a career in the Hedge Fund world. You must have exposure to supporting pricing and valuation processes in a front office facing role, ideally with exposure to various types of derivative products. It is essential that you have a mathematical mindset and education, boasting a degree in a mathematical qualification. They are willing to look at those who have already made the switch into the Alternatives sector. This role ideally suits someone at the start of their career and is beneficial if you have seen T1, Flash and End of Day (EOD) P&L production and investigations.

What is most important is being able to showcase a mentality that would be successful in aptitude assessments and mental arithmetic. This might be demonstrable in education as part of a degree where you have covered statistics or even quant focussed modules. Being able to work things out, methodically, and in correct order, will be able to showcase natural logic to working our problems. That’s why coding skills and appreciation of VBA, Python and SQL are deemed favourable but not essential. Being able to identify and then document an error/issue, create a code to improve/automate, check the code works, and then test it, is a prime way to demonstrate logical thinking.

This very broad role is very important for the company, as it’s the last line in the Operations workflow. Partnering closely with the Front Office to make sure they understand their cash positions at all times, you will experience all things to do with Product Control in a T1 environment, working with some of the most successful and smartest minds in the industry.
