FP&A Director - Leading Hedge Fund - Market Leading Compensation and Benefits Package

We are collaborating with a distinguished Hedge Fund in the search for a highly analytical and system transformation savvy candidate to fill an FP&A Director role.

The FP&A Director will oversee and communicate the financial and investment performance of the firm, working across the entire business and collaborating regularly with teams in Portfolio Management, Risk, Trading, Accounting, and Investor Relations. This pivotal role is both commercial and strategic, reporting directly to and partnering with the global CFO. The candidate will lead the financial planning and analysis functions, designing and implementing robust budget processes, presenting monthly management information, and driving system implementation and process automation initiatives.

Key responsibilities include analyzing financial trends and key performance indicators (KPIs) using data visualization tools such as Power BI and self-built models, with regular presentations to the senior leadership team. The role also involves developing financial models for scenario analysis, producing management reports to support decision-making, and providing guidance on cash management and hedging policies. Additionally, the FP&A Director will assist in the year-end compensation process, lead the coaching and mentoring of junior finance team members, and have the autonomy to streamline and automate various business-as-usual (BAU) processes.

This role will work partner with the CFO and other senior stakeholders in the business to understand existing workflows, including tax, audit, daily operations, and cash management, and will play a crucial role in building out the FP&A function.

The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of experience in finance (post qualified experience), be a qualified accountant (ACA) with a strong academic background and possess broad knowledge across various finance functions. Experience in the buy-side sector is a must, and familiarity with systems such as Workday and complex compensation models are preferred but not essential.

For the right candidate, this role would offer a substantial increase in the current base salary, accompanied by a bonus that can constitute a significant percentage of the base. The comprehensive benefits package includes a substantial pension and generous coverage for health, life, and travel.
