This hire forms part of a strategic expansion and offers hands-on involvement in a high-growth environment.
This role works at the core of the fund’s portfolio valuation and P&L process.

- Analyse and explain P&L, including investigating drivers, pricing differences and booking issues in coordination with Portfolio Management and Operations.
- Review curve construction and market data inputs in partnership with quantitative and risk teams, ensuring consistency of discount curves, forward curves and volatility surfaces.
- Prepare and present valuation‑related analysis and commentary to senior stakeholders across the firm.
- Contribute to the enhancement of valuation and P&L infrastructure, including process automation and implementation of new tools and technologies.
What they are looking for:
- 5+ years valuations experience gained within a reputable financial institution (Hedge Fund experience is strongly preferred).

- Strong understanding of curve construction (discounting and forwards) and IR / FX volatility surface concepts across multiple currencies.
- Advanced Excel skills.
- Familiarity with Python, VBA or data visualisation tools is a plus.
