Job Description

The analyst will work closely with portfolio managers, custodian banks, and prime brokers to ensure accurate and timely processing of all investment activity. Daily responsibilities include resolving trade breaks, monitoring corporate actions, and maintaining clean position and cash records across a broad set of managed accounts. Reporting cycles are structured with defined deadlines, and the role requires consistent accuracy under time pressure.

  • Support portfolio managers with ad hoc reporting and data pulls
  • Assist with month-end NAV review and client reporting packages
  • Contribute to process improvement and technology upgrade initiatives

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
  • 3 to 5 years of experience in investment operations, fund accounting, or a similar role
  • Familiarity with equity, fixed income, and derivative instruments
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with Bloomberg a plus
  • Hands-on experience with portfolio accounting or order management systems such as Geneva, Eagle, or similar
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to meet firm daily deadlines
  • Solid understanding of trade lifecycle and settlement processes
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional coordination

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with annual performance-based bonus
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with low employee premiums
  • 401(k) plan with employer contribution match
  • Hybrid work schedule with flexibility for remote days
  • CFA exam study support and professional development reimbursement
