We are working with a highly regarded global Australian credit fund manager to appoint a Director, Distribution and Investor Relations with responsibility for leading and managing offshore investor relationships across the APAC region. With an established track record of delivering strong investment outcomes, the firm has built a significant global funds management platform across numerous strategies.

The successful candidate will lead distribution and client servicing efforts within their segment and will work closely with investment, product, operations, legal, compliance and marketing teams to deliver a high-quality client experience.

The core focus of this role will be expanding the firm's institutional client base and distribution channels across Asia, alongside resuming coverage of its existing offshore investor base. The role will suit an experienced and commercially-minded distribution professional with strong relationship management skills, genuine credibility with Asian institutional investors and the ability to represent a leading Australian platform to a sophisticated offshore audience.
