Head of Fund Control​/Finance - Hedge Fund Launch

Overview

Attribution Search is partnering with a significant Global Macro Hedge Fund launch to appoint its first Head of Fund Control & Finance hire.

The fund is led by a Founding Principal with an outstanding track record from a Tier-1 multi-pod platform, trading across rates, FX, and cross-asset strategies.

This hire represents a critical leadership position within the business. The role will report directly into the COO, and given there is no CFO in seat, this makes for a natural path for progression over time. The COO does not come from a finance background, providing immediate scope for ownership, impact, and personal acceleration.

• Full ownership of NAV review and sign-off, valuation, pricing, and controls.
• Oversight of fund and management company finance, including audits, filings, and statutory financial statements (Qualified Accountant Required).
• Acting as senior finance lead across administrator and outsourced operations providers.
• Oversight of Middle Office operations (primarily governance and control-focused) in the absence of Head of Operations.
• Partnering with technology teams to build automation, controls, and scalable finance infrastructure.
• Playing a key role in building and leading the finance function as AUM and headcount grow.

This opportunity is ideally suited to a Qualified Senior Fund Accountant / Fund Controller seeking a high-impact seat within a fast-growing, institutional macro platform, with long-term leadership upside.

Appropriate candidates are encouraged to apply for further details.
