The Role

We are seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented professional to support the day-to-day business management of Schonfeld's Macro & Fixed Income platform in EMEA. Working closely with Rates & FX PMs across the region, this person will drive PM onboarding, business analytics, operational execution, and cross-functional coordination. This role covers London, Dubai, and any future EMEA locations, and reports into the COO of DMFI.

What you’ll do

Business Management

Support Rates & FX PMs across EMEA on day-to-day business needs, translating investment goals into resourcing, capital, and infrastructure requirements. Maintain and update business plans for PM builds and growth initiatives in the region. Analyze desk P&L, risk, liquidity, funding and balance-sheet usage; flag issues and recommend actions to enhance returns and capital efficiency. Identify new products or market opportunities specific to EMEA and support approval / launch processes. Leverage AI and automation tools to streamline reporting and surface actionable insights. Ensure business operations remain compliant with EMEA-specific regulatory environments (FCA, DFSA, ESMA).

PM Onboarding & Lifecycle Management

Manage onboarding of new Macro/Fixed Income PM teams in EMEA: capital allocation sizing, risk limits, market-data entitlements, trading-system connectivity, and broker relationships. Coordinate pre-launch testing, market data, and trading integrations for newly on-boarded PMs across EMEA time zones. Act as a day-to-day point of contact for existing PMs on trading, infrastructure, or counterparty issues. Navigate multi-jurisdictional requirements (UK, EU, DIFC) during PM setup and ongoing operations.

Business & Performance Analytics

Build and maintain dashboards on KPIs and business metrics, present insights to PMs and regional management. Support cost/benefit cases for data, analytics and technology spend; track realized savings and ROI. Use AI/ML-driven analytics to identify patterns in performance, risk, and cost data.

Cross-Functional Coordination

Execute cross-functional projects across operations, treasury, compliance, and technology—owning workstreams and driving delivery. Coordinate with Legal / Treasury on ISDA, CSA, give-ups and clearing mandates to support trading strategies across EMEA jurisdictions. Working closely with the North America and Asia regional leads to ensure consistency of processes and best-practice sharing.

Vendor & Data Management

Manage the vendor lifecycle for trading and analytics platforms in EMEA (contract tracking, SLA monitoring, performance reviews). Stay abreast of emerging data/analytics and AI vendors in macro and fixed income and evaluate fit for the platform. Support adoption of AI-powered tools (e.g., LLMs for research synthesis, NLP for news/sentiment, GenAI for workflow automation).

What you’ll bring

What you need:

• 5-8 years in business management / COO, product or trading-related role on the buy-side (hedge fund, asset manager) or sell-side fixed income business.
• Solid product knowledge across rates and FX cash & derivatives: government bonds, swaps, futures, options, swaptions, NDFs, forwards, cross-currency swaps.
• Good grasp of pricing, valuation, risk, funding & liquidity, margin and capital usage.
• Familiarity with EMEA-specific regulatory frameworks.
• Fluency with trading technologies: order & execution-management systems, market-data feeds.
• Strong analytical toolkit—Excel / VBA a must; Python, SQL or PowerBI preferred.
• Experience with AI/ML tools; comfort applying generative AI or automation to business processes and analytics.
• Ability to negotiate commercial terms with banks, venues and data providers.
• Strong project-management, prioritization and communication skills.
• Highly organized, proactive and able to manage multiple deliverables in a fast-moving market environment.
• Impeccable integrity and discretion when handling sensitive trading and financial information.
• Ability to work across time zones and collaborate effectively with global counterparts.

We’d love if you had:

• Experience within multi-PM hedge fund platforms preferred.
