Reports to: Founder
Location: HongKong
Employment Type: Full‑time
Role Overview
We are a quantitative hedge fund manager with a growing footprint in the investment industry. Our founder is actively involved in multiple strategic initiatives and oversees a range of external business engagements. We are looking for an Executive Assistant to provide high‑level administrative and operational support, with a focus on investment‑related workflows, counterparty coordination, and assistance with various business‑related matters.
This is not a conventional secretarial position – it sits at the intersection of executive support, investment operations, and external affairs coordination. The ideal candidate will be comfortable handling sensitive documentation, managing multiple relationships, and ensuring accuracy across a broad spectrum of financial and commercial activities.
Key Responsibilities:
【Executive & Administrative Support】
-Manage the founder’s calendar, travel arrangements, and meeting schedules to optimise time allocation.
-Coordinate internal and external communications with counterparties (e.g., brokers, custodians, legal advisors, investors); organise meetings and prepare minutes with actionable follow‑ups.
-Draft, review, and file business correspondence, reports, and contracts; oversee document signing and record keeping.
-Liaise with cross‑functional teams to facilitate the execution of special projects and ad‑hoc tasks.
【Investment Operations Support】
-Assist in the establishment and onboarding of new investment entities and accounts, including liaison with custodians, prime brokers, and other financial institutions for account opening and documentation.
-Handle KYC / AML due diligence for new investors / counterparties, collecting and verifying required documentation in line with internal policies and regulatory standards.
-Support the maintenance of investor / share registers (subscriptions, redemptions, transfers) and monitor key operational dates (dealing, cut‑off, payment schedules, etc.).
-Prepare and send capital call / drawdown notices and distribution notices to investors; respond to routine investor enquiries in a timely manner.
-Coordinate cash settlements and the payment of various expenses related to investment activities.
-Participate in new business / product initiatives, including preliminary research, documentation preparation, and workflow setup.
-Act as a gatekeeper for operational processes – ensure deadlines, thresholds, and compliance rules are consistently observed.
【Business Affairs & External Coordination Support】
-Assist the founder in coordinating meetings with external parties (e.g., investment banks, financial advisors, legal counsels, and other professional institutions), including scheduling, agenda preparation, and minute‑taking with subsequent follow‑up.
-Support the review process for various commercial agreements, term sheets, cooperation documents, and other legal instruments – tracking key terms, critical deadlines, and ensuring orderly document flow.
-Assist in preliminary information gathering, data compilation, and preparation of internal briefing materials in connection with potential business opportunities.
-Coordinate communications and document exchanges between onshore and offshore intermediaries to facilitate smooth execution of external cooperation matters.
Qualifications Required:
-Education: Bachelor’s degree or above (Finance, Economics, Law, Business Administration, or related fields preferred).
-Experience: At least 3 years of relevant experience in financial services (asset management, private banking, investment operations, corporate finance, etc.).
-Professional knowledge: Familiarity with investment fund structures, operational processes, and compliance requirements; understanding of KYC/AML procedures and account opening practices; general awareness of commercial contracts, legal documentation, and external cooperation workflows.
-Technical skills: Proficient in MS Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint) and Google Workspace. Experience with fund administration or project management tools is a plus.
-Language: Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese (both written and spoken; conversational fluency in Cantonese is required).
Core Competencies:
-Meticulous attention to detail – a “zero‑error” mindset when handling numbers, dates, and transactional records, even under pressure.
-High integrity and confidentiality – capable of handling sensitive commercial and personal information with discretion.
-Self‑motivated and proactive – able to identify issues and propose solutions independently in a lean team environment.
-Excellent interpersonal and coordination skills – comfortable interacting with diverse external parties (investment banks, custodians, brokers, investors, regulators, etc.).
-Strong execution and time‑management skills – capable of juggling multiple priorities while maintaining clarity and composure.
Nice‑to‑Haves:
-Experience with offshore / cross‑border investment structures (e.g., Cayman, BVI, LPF, OFC).
-Knowledge of regulatory requirements is a plus.
-Background in quantitative hedge funds, multi‑asset investment firms, or private equity / venture capital.
-Relevant professional certifications (e.g., CFA, CAIA, or fund practitioner qualification).
What We Offer:
-Direct exposure to a top‑tier quantitative investment team and a diverse range of strategic initiatives.
-A high‑growth role that combines executive support, investment operations, and external coordination.
-Competitive compensation and benefits package.
