About the Client
An SEC-registered investment advisor operating a tech-driven multi-manager hedge fund platform is hiring a Fund Operations Manager to take ownership of NAV production and reconciliation as its fund count scales.
The firm is an eight-person, fully distributed team onboarding approximately eight new custom funds in the near term. Fund operations currently sit with a single Head of Operations plus an onshore outsourced provider, and the firm is bringing that work in-house. The systems already work — what the team needs is capacity and sharper process as complexity grows.
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Operations, this role splits roughly 50% NAV and fund accounting, 25% management company financials, and 25% investor operations and ad hoc projects. The first 30 days are spent shadowing a full month-end close cycle, with delegated ownership of core workflows by day 60 and transition of outsourced reconciliation work by day 90. Success means owning specific fund operations workflows end-to-end with minimal oversight and answering Limited Partner questions independently.
Core Responsibilities
NAV and Fund Accounting
- Produce monthly Net Asset Value calculations for the firm's custom funds.
- Reconcile fund positions, cash balances, and transactions, and resolve discrepancies before close.
- Maintain fund books, records, and systems of record so all fund accounting files stay current.
- Redesign NAV production workflows as the fund count scales from 1 to 8+.
- Take over shadow NAV and reconciliation work currently handled by the outsourced team.
Management Company Financials
- Process accounts payable and accounts receivable for the firm's internal operations.
- Perform bookkeeping and internal financial reporting for the management company.
- Record internal expenses and revenue accurately and on schedule.
Investor Operations
- Process subscriptions, redemptions, and investor onboarding documentation.
- Respond to Limited Partner inquiries by email and join investor calls when needed.
- Prepare investor reporting and fulfil documentation requests.
- Support fund formations as new custom funds launch.
Process and Ad Hoc Support
- Identify operational inefficiencies and implement improvements as fund complexity grows.
- Learn and maintain the proprietary internal applications used to warehouse fund data.
- Pick up cross-functional operational projects as the firm scales.
Requirements
Must-Have
- 4+ years of back-office or fund operations experience at an asset management firm, hedge fund, SEC-registered RIA, or fund administrator
- Hands-on ownership of monthly NAV production, including position, cash, and transaction reconciliation for at least one fund
- Fund accounting experience covering fund books and records, investor statements, and independent month-end close
- Working knowledge of trade lifecycle and settlement processes in an asset management context, including break identification and resolution
- Experience with management company financials — AP, AR, and bookkeeping — distinct from fund-level accounting
- Investor operations experience: subscription and redemption processing, investor onboarding, or written responses to Limited Partner inquiries
- C1+ English (CEFR) for investor-facing email and occasional calls with Limited Partners
Nice-to-Have
- Fund operations experience at an asset manager under 50 employees, or sole ownership of a fund vertical within a larger firm
- Exposure to multi-manager hedge fund platforms, custom funds, or managed accounts
- Hands-on use of fund admin platforms such as Juniper Square, Allvue, Carta, SS&C, or Advent Geneva
- Experience supporting fund formations or new fund launches
- Track record of working US Eastern business hours from Latin America
