About The Position

This is a high-stakes role at the epicenter of one of the world’s largest hedge funds. You will serve as the operational nervous system for a C-Suite executive within the Alpha Engine—the division overseeing our flagship Pure Alpha fund.

This is a mission-critical position focused on high-fidelity execution, triage, and extreme reliability. You are responsible for ensuring the "trains run on schedule" in an environment where the Executive can be a high-demand bottleneck. You will partner directly with leadership to orchestrate priorities, navigating ambiguous problems while executing a clear strategic roadmap.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in high-stakes business operations, administrative orchestration, and complex execution, with a track record of managing competing priorities with minimal errors. We are open to a variety of backgrounds.
• Commitment: Willingness to be in-office 4 days/week and stay connected during evenings or weekends as workflows require.

Responsibilities

• Central Workflow Command: Become the central point person for all workflows interacting with the Executive. You are the first line of defense—making fast, objective decisions on what requires immediate attention and what you can resolve independently.
• Strategic Triage & Synthesis: Act as the primary filter for all escalations. You must be a fast learner able to connect the dots, remain level-headed while determining what requires the Executive's immediate focus, and generate a clear synthesis of complex issues for the broader team.
• Meticulous Calendar & Priority Management: Own the Executive’s time with precision. You must translate ambiguous or limited direction into an excellently prioritized schedule that reflects the firm’s most important goals and urgent needs.
• Stakeholder Orchestration: Manage high-volume outreach from senior leaders across the firm. When the Executive is unreachable, you are the bridge—keeping stakeholders aligned, managing expectations, ensuring follow-ups are addressed promptly, and escalating when needed.
• Project Management: Oversee critical internal and external workstreams. You ensure every project is handled with the end-to-end precision required for C-Suite execution.
• Always-On Operational Pulse: Serve as the primary point of contact for an office that is serving clients on a global scale, 24/7, 365. You will ensure 360-degree coverage of business priorities and maintain a tight operational grip even when clarity is limited. You will manage a coordinator who will partner with you on these responsibilities.
