Anyone have insight on jobs in operations? I’m interviewing for a portfolio management role and it has been stressed that the job is very operations based.

In smaller firms a lot of ops roles sit alongside PMs and traders, and touch a lot more than just routine post-trade processes. Do you have an idea of what the day to day responsibilities would be?

It’s an ETF Asset allocation role. I would be processing the fund’s trades and handling redemptions from ETF participants. This opening is with a larger firm.

Unfortunately that does sound like a “true” ops role. Probably won’t have a huge amount of contact with the front office. Seems a little disingenuous if it was advertised as a portfolio management role as well

Ahhh that’s for the insight. Sounds like contact with FO would be key to breaking into that type of role.

Sounds a lot like pimco?
