Job Title: Hedge Fund Operations Specialist

Location: Singapore (On-site)

Working Calendar: Japan Market

About Jellola Investments

Jellola Investments is a lean, focused boutique hedge fund manager based in Singapore, primarily specializing in Japanese equities. As we scale our operations and onboard new mandates, we are looking for a highly disciplined, execution-minded Operations Specialist to take complete ownership of our middle- and back-office pipelines.

The Reality of the Role

This is a flat, lean environment. The core of this position is strict Business-As-Usual (BAU) trade processing and daily execution—there is no corporate fluff, and there is no immediate track to front-office trading or large-scale project management.

Because we operate as a lean team, you must be someone who genuinely enjoys running a clean desk independently and is entirely comfortable wearing multiple hats. In addition to daily investment operations, you will actively assist with ad-hoc non-investment needs, including basic IT coordination, office administration, and general support across teams.

Key Responsibilities

Trade Lifecycle Management: Manage end-to-end trade processing, booking validation, and T+0 matching for equities and related derivatives.

Reconciliations: Perform daily cash, position, and transaction reconciliations against Prime Broker statements; investigate and resolve all breaks with high urgency.

NAV Production: Coordinate directly with the Fund Administrator to ensure accurate and timely monthly NAV calculations.

Onboarding & Setup: Support the operational plumbing, static data setup, and account configuration required for onboarding new mandates and structural expansions.

Boutique Support: Handle day-to-day non-investment operational workflows, including office administration, vendor touchpoints, and ad-hoc troubleshooting.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: 3 to 5 years of strict operations experience within a buy side.

Asset Class Exposure: Solid understanding of global equities (Japan/APAC market exposure is a distinct advantage).

Technical Skills: Highly proficient in Excel. Prior hands-on experience with institutional portfolio management systems/OMS is strongly preferred.

Mindset: A zero-mistake, process-driven workhorse. You pride yourself on flawless daily execution and don't mind handling routine tasks day in and day out.

Communication: Clear, direct communication skills to manage relationships with executing brokers, PBs, and internal stakeholders.
