WHAT YOU'LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:

The Financial Operations group is an integral part of our global operations. If hired, you will support one or more of the functions mentioned below.

Global Middle Office (MO) - The Global Middle Office team supports the full lifecycle of D. E. Shaw's global trading strategies, serving as the vital link between front office trading desks and operational teams such as Regulatory Reporting, Fund Accounting, and Compliance. It provides critical operational support across multiple asset classes and complex products, acting as the central coordination and escalation point for resolving post-trade and operational issues. Day to day, the team coordinates trade operations end to end — trade capture, P&L, security master, settlements, and reconciliation — while overseeing corporate action elections, monitoring F&O expiries, and managing cash equity/bond fails and their resolution across APAC and EMEA. It maintains security and reference data for OTC and listed products spanning credit and interest rate derivatives, equities and equity derivatives, FX swaps and options, fixed income, ABS, and repos, and works closely with prime brokers and custodians. MO also drives process improvement, automation, and exceptional controls, partnering with product and technology teams on business requirements, trade reporting workstreams, and operational analytics.

Financial and Regulatory Reporting/Management Company Accounting - In this role, you will collaborate with a number of senior stakeholders at the time of new fund launches, assist in setting up of complex fund structures and transactions, conduct historical as well as projected analyses of fund performance, technical accounting analysis for complex financial instruments, and handle bespoke requests from various internal and external stakeholders. You will work closely with the office of the Chief Operating Officer (COO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), business unit (BU) heads, government regulators, and portfolio managers to provide key performance metrics to facilitate effective decision-making through insightful reporting, analyses, and recommendations within the MCA team. This involves P&L analysis, expense allocation, budgeting, cash management, financial and regulatory reporting, finalization of audits for global management company entities. Additionally, the above roles will involve handling change management processes while understanding and analyzing changes in the firm's businesses and incorporating these changes into the firm's financial reporting infrastructure. Furthermore, you will drive technology projects to develop reporting and analysis tools (including Power BI, Power Query and Alteryx), streamline workflows, and enhance user experience. Finally, you will also be involved in staying abreast of developments in technical accounting, primarily US GAAP, UK GAAP, and HK GAAP to provide accounting guidance, adopt new accounting standards, and maintain the firm's accounting policy manual.
