Chief Operating Officer (COO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Operating Officer to lead a firm spin-off and build out its operations, finance, and compliance infrastructure. The role will bring middle- and back-office functions in-house, oversee external service providers and custodians, and manage accounting, reconciliations, payroll, HR, and administrator review. The COO will also oversee marketing and fund relationships, support business growth, and partner with the investment team on commercial initiatives, operating infrastructure, and future investment platforms. A key priority is enabling the investment team to focus on investing while the COO takes ownership of the firm’s day-to-day needs. Candidates should bring broad COO, CFO, and CCO experience, including hands-on responsibility for finance and oversight of compliance, trading operations, and third-party providers. Experience building and scaling a start-up or investment manager, ideally in a lean environment, is essential, along with a strong understanding of trading infrastructure and the ability to identify and prevent trade errors. The role calls for a commercially minded, self-directed operator with an ownership mindset, a long-term commitment, and a technology-forward approach to improving and automating processes. Hedge fund experience, French or Spanish fluency, and established industry relationships are advantageous.
