 A leading global quantitative hedge fund is looking to add an Operations Specialist to its Middle Office team in New York.
 
 
 
 
 
 The team plays a key role in supporting the firm's trading platform across a broad range of post-trade functions. The role is focused on equities trade support, providing end-to-end ownership of the trade lifecycle while partnering closely with Portfolio Managers, traders, technology, and external counterparties to ensure the smooth running of daily trading activity in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
 
 
 
 
 
 Responsibilities include trade support, trade and position reconciliations, settlements, and corporate actions, while acting as a key point of contact for the Front Office to resolve trading and operational issues. The role also offers the opportunity to drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and platform enhancements, giving you the chance to make a tangible impact on how the business operates rather than simply running BAU processes.

Trade Support (Equities) - Quant Hedge Fund - $250k+ TC - WFH Hybrid

<div>
 
 A global, multi-strategy hedge fund is hiring into its trade support / middle office team in New York as part of continued growth across the platform.
 
 
 
 
 
 This is a highly desk-facing role, embedded directly with Portfolio Managers and operating very much as a trader assistant function. PMs trade their own books and rely on this team for real-time support across live trading activity, trade booking and flow queries, P&amp;L and risk, corporate actions, and lifecycle events &mdash; offering genuine proximity to trading and markets.
 
 
 
 
 
 The firm has a very strong track record of consistent performance, with positive returns every year since launch. It has hired multiple new PMs in recent years and continues to invest heavily in systems, automation, and front-to-back infrastructure. The role offers broad exposure across various strategies and asset classes, with meaningful responsibility from day one.
 
 
 
 
 
 The culture is flat, and extremely collaborative, with a strong focus on internal development and long-term retention. There is no separate trading assistant team &mdash; this group provides that coverage, avoiding pigeonholing and offering wide exposure across the fund.
 
 
 
 
 
 The role is offering a year one TC of up to $200k. Employees can WFH one day per week.

<div>About this role
Company Description
HPS Investment Partners, a part of BlackRock, is a leading global, credit-focused alternative investment manager that seeks to provide creative capital solutions and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our clients. We manage various strategies across the capital structure, including privately negotiated senior debt; privately negotiated junior capital solutions in debt, preferred and equity formats; liquid credit including syndicated leveraged loans, collateralized loan obligations and high yield bonds; asset-based finance and real estate. The scale and breadth of our platform offers the flexibility to invest in companies large and small, through standard or customized solutions. At our core, we share a common thread of intellectual rigor and discipline that enables us to create value for our clients.
HPS was established in 2007 as a unit of Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (&ldquo;HCM&rdquo;), a subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management (&ldquo;JPMAM&rdquo;). On March 31, 2016, the senior executives of HPS acquired HPS and its subsidiaries from JPMAM and HCM (the &ldquo;Transaction&rdquo;).[i] Following the Transaction, JPMAM retained a passive minority investment in HPS, which was subsequently redeemed in April 2022. In June 2018, affiliates of Dyal Capital Partners made a passive minority investment in HPS. In February 2022, an affiliate of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America made a passive minority investment in HPS, which was subsequently increased in August 2024. On July 1, 2025, BlackRock acquired the business and assets of HPS, with 100% of consideration paid in BlackRock equity (the &ldquo;HPS/BlackRock Transaction&rdquo;).
The HPS/BlackRock Transaction brings together BlackRock&rsquo;s corporate and asset owner relationships with HPS&rsquo;s diversified origination and capital flexibility. BlackRock and HPS have formed a new private financing solutions business unit (&ldquo;PFS&rdquo;) led by Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson, creating an integrated franchise with approximately $370 billion in client assets, including $205 billion of private credit assets.[ii] This combined platform, which has more than 590 investment professionals and approximately 1,300 employees globally,[iii] offers broad capabilities across senior and junior credit solutions, asset-based finance, real estate, CLOs and GP-LP solutions. As part of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction, Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson have joined BlackRock&rsquo;s Global Executive Committee, and Scott Kapnick has been appointed as an observer to the BlackRock Board.
