- Guide all parties through Third Party Allotment processes, ensuring professional standards in transaction announcements
- Monitor post-investment developments to provide support to portfolio companies and inform position management
- Effectively manage resources, prioritizing high-impact activities and delegating appropriately externally and internally. Focus on judgment and decision-making that drives and protects key business outcomes

- 7+ years of experience in investment banking, hedge funds, or related roles
- Bloomberg, Excel, and PowerPoint capabilities
- Ability to carefully read and interpret financial statements and legal documents
- Competence in data analysis
- Proven track record in advising on deal sourcing, negotiation, and execution while building a strong brand

- Thrive in a flat-hierarchical, entrepreneurial, hands-on, multi-cultural firm
- Intellectual curiosity driving innovative problem-solving and continuous learning, especially around decision making and capital markets
- Communicate complex financial ideas persuasively, clearly, logically, and across languages, and are comfortable at handling disputes to protect HCM
- Balanced confidence and humility, with openness to feedback and constructive debate
- Results-oriented mindset with a focus on discipline, professionalism, and effective time management
What We Offer
- At HCM and Susquehanna, we value strategic thinking, resourcefulness, and efficiency over excessive work hours. The group's permanent capital structure allows us to prioritize thoughtful decision-making and achieving business outcomes.
- As part of our small but entrepreneurial Asia team, you will have the unique opportunity to shape investment processes, standards, and strategic direction – much like in a startup environment – while leveraging the resources and stability of one of the world's largest pools of permanent capital.
- If you thrive on making shrewd, impactful decisions and are driven by innovation and resourcefulness, this is your chance to excel.
