Full job descriptionWe are looking for an experienced Russian-speaking Portfolio Manager/Investment Manager to join an international family office and take responsibility for managing part of its public equity portfolio.
This is a hands-on investment role with direct access to the Principals and CFO. You will be involved not only in day-to-day portfolio management, but also in investment strategy and recommendations to the Investment Committee.
The family office currently operates from Paphos, Cyprus, with a London office planned to be opened in 6-12 months’ time. The position will ultimately relocate to London, with an initial temporary relocation to Cyprus or travelling to Cyprus before the London office opens.
Responsibilities
*Manage a public equity portfolio within the family’s Strategic Asset Allocation.
*Make investment decisions and execute trades across equities, funds, mandates and thematic investments.
*Manage portfolio allocation, diversification and regular rebalancing.
*Execute options strategies through bank trading platforms.
*Select and monitor external investment managers.
*Analyse companies, financial statements, business models and market opportunities.
*Build and use financial models to support investment decisions.
*Monitor global markets, economic developments and industry trends.
*Review external research and investment analysis.
*Prepare investment recommendations and data for the Investment Committee.
*Contribute to the development of the family’s overall investment strategy.
*Monitor investment costs, bank fees and portfolio expenses.
Key Skills
*7+ years’ professional investment experience, ideally with a stronger track record in public equities.
*Experience managing or analysing equity portfolios and making investment recommendations.
*Strong fundamental company analysis and financial modelling skills.
*Good understanding of financial statements and business models.
*Experience with Bloomberg and Refinitiv Eikon.
*Excellent Excel and PowerPoint skills.
*A degree in Economics, Finance, Mathematics or a related discipline.
*CFA Level 1–2 would be an advantage.
*Fluent in Russian and English.
*Strong analytical skills and excellent attention to detail.
*The confidence to make independent investment decisions and stand behind your judgement.
*A stable career history and evidence of building long-term relationships with employers.
*We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience in a family office, private bank, asset manager, investment boutique, hedge fund or similar investment environment.
*The family office is looking for someone who is genuinely interested in a long-term investment career within a private family-office environment. While several exceptions can be considered, frequent moves between employers without a clear rationale are unlikely to be suitable.
*Some overtime will occasionally be required, depending on workload and investment activity.
*Location flexibility – ideally: The role is initially based in Paphos, Cyprus, 5 days a week. The family office plans to open its London office in 6-12 months, at which point the position will move to London and become office-based there.
*For an exceptional candidate who is unable to relocate to Cyprus immediately, the family office may consider an interim hybrid arrangement from London, with regular travel to Cyprus — typically around one week per month — particularly when the Principal is in Cyprus and for Investment Committee meetings.
Job Advantages
*Competitive base salary and bonus potential.
*Direct exposure to the Principals and CFO.
*Genuine responsibility for a significant public equity portfolio.
*Involvement in investment strategy and Investment Committee decisions.
*Health insurance for Cyprus-based employees.
*Visa assistance for suitable candidates relocating to Cyprus.
*A professional and entrepreneurial Family Office working environment.
