Trading Assistant - Global Hedge Fund - Up to $200k TC - WFH Flex

Role overview

A global multi-strategy hedge fund is expanding its trade support and middle office function in New York. This position sits close to the trading desks and works as a trader assistant-style role, partnering directly with Portfolio Managers.

Portfolio Managers handle their own books and depend on this team for live support across trading activity, order and trade entry, P&L and risk checks, corporate actions, and other lifecycle events. The role provides direct exposure to markets and day-to-day trading decisions.

The firm has delivered positive returns every year since inception, and it has continued to grow by adding new Portfolio Managers and investing in systems, automation, and end-to-end infrastructure. This creates a broad platform exposure across multiple strategies and asset classes, with real responsibility from the start.

Team and culture

The environment is collaborative and non-hierarchical, with a strong emphasis on internal growth and long-term retention. There is no dedicated trading assistant pod; instead, this team covers that support across the fund, which helps avoid narrow specialization and encourages wider exposure.

Compensation and working model

The expected total compensation for the first year is up to $200,000. The role is based in New York and offers one work-from-home day each week.
