We are hiring for Senior Investment Operations Analyst
Job Description:
We are a New York-based boutique investment management firm managing several global equity strategies for institutional and high-net-worth clients. The firm was founded by veteran investor, Rupal Bhansali, who follows a non-consensus investment philosophy.
We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Senior Investment Operations Analyst. The role offers broad exposure to investment operations, portfolio analytics, performance reporting, client servicing, and business management, along with opportunities for career advancement.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Global Investment Firm Exposure
- Work directly with a New York-headquartered investment management firm serving sophisticated global investors. Unlike many large organizations where responsibilities are narrowly defined, this role provides broad exposure across investment operations, portfolio reporting, client servicing, technology, and business management.
Permanent Remote Work Flexibility
- Enjoy the benefits of a full-time work-from-home role without the stress of daily commuting. This position is specifically designed as a remote role, offering flexibility, autonomy, and a healthier work-life balance while allowing you to collaborate with a global investment organization.
Significant Career Growth Potential
- This is not an administrative or clerical support position. We are seeking a long-term team member who wants to grow with the organization. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the firm grows. Candidates who demonstrate strong analytical abilities, leadership, initiative, process improvement skills, technological prowess, and operational judgment can expect substantial role expansion over time, with a potential career path: Senior Investment Operations Analyst → Operations Manager → Head of Operations.

- The Senior Investment Operations Analyst will play a critical role in maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and scalability of the firm's operational, reporting, and data-management infrastructure.
