The Role 
We are seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented analyst to join our Asset Servicing team in our New York City or Jericho office. The team is primarily responsible for security master data integrity and corporate action processing, although the role will surely expand as our firm grows. Given the dynamic nature of this position and the Asset Servicing team in general, you will interact with all areas of the firm including product management, technology, market data, risk, accounting, trading, portfolio finance, middle office, and our internal and external Portfolio Managers. Although the candidate will initially be focused on corporate action processing and security master data maintenance, the position will undoubtedly evolve into a more robust position such as onboarding new strategies and products, as well as other broader Asset Servicing team mandates. The candidate will ideally have a few years dealing with referential data at a financial firm. In lieu of direct experience in this area, a strong display and history of problem-solving skills, creativity, intellectual curiosity, and ability to both initiate and embrace change would be welcomed.    

               

What you’ll do 

The role is primarily focused on security master operational support, referential data maintenance & integrity, and corporate action processing / break resolution. Successful completion of these tasks require attention to detail, ability to multi-task, and a strong sense of responsibility.

• Corporate Action Processing - including all mandatory events, including stock splits, spinoffs, stock dividends, mergers, cash dividends, and facilitating voluntary elections by engaging with PMs and managing election deadlines.
• Security Master Maintenance - data maintenance and an understanding of the various attributes of a security across all asset classes, including but not limited to market identifiers and OTC terms. Support the build out of new products as the firm continues to expand, ensuring all downstream systems and teams can capture the required data.
• Data Integrity Improvements - help build out tools to monitor reference data and strive to achieve the highest levels of data integrity that will ultimately be leveraged firmwide. Participate in process improvements and project initiatives to deliver firm initiatives and strategies that are scalable and efficient.
• Position breaks resolution – including reconciling, prioritizing, and resolving cash & position breaks related to corporate actions in a timely manner across PBs and our third-party administrators.

 

What you’ll bring

• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or related degree.
• 2-4 years minimum experience in Corporate Actions, Security Master or General Operations at a hedge fund, sell-side, or hedge fund administrator; buy-side experience preferred.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong ownership and a track record of delivering results.
• The ability to carry multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment with strong attention to detail.
