About the opportunity
This is a rare seat at a respected, boutique asset management firm in the heart of Midtown, the kind of role that's hard to find and harder to leave.
You'll lead a small, high-caliber team building and running the technology that powers real financial operations, not watching from the sidelines.
This is senior role for someone 6+ years into their career who is ready to take on more ownership than a big bank or consultancy would ever give them.
Estimated base salary is $150,000–$170,000, plus an annual bonus and a comprehensive benefits package.
We work hard, think carefully, and hold ourselves to a high standard.
If you've spent time in financial services — at a bank, a custodian, a prime broker, or an asset manager — and you've been frustrated by how slowly things move or how little of the stack you're allowed to touch, this is the opportunity to change that.
