About this role
Verition's Treasury Associate role centers on managing the firm's securities lending and financing operations across EMEA, with direct impact on how a multi-strategy hedge fund funds its global portfolio. You'll own the day-to-day mechanics—managing the securities lending book, negotiating borrow fees, reporting short interest metrics, and executing the firm's FX hedging program—while partnering with portfolio managers to evaluate and refine financing structures. The role also involves leading projects that improve reporting and analytics tools, staying on top of regulatory developments, and collaborating across financing desks in New York, Dubai, and Hong Kong to align the firm's funding strategy.
The ideal candidate has at least two years in securities lending, prime brokerage, treasury, or hedge fund financing, with solid knowledge of European and global markets and familiarity with derivatives and financing structures. You'll need strong Excel and data analysis skills, hands-on experience with FX execution, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams under pressure. Experience with Python, SQL, or other analytics tools is valued, as is a track record of leading process improvements and using AI tools to enhance workflows. Above all, you should communicate credibly with both internal PMs and external counterparties, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where attention to detail matters.
