Job description

Fund Operations Manager | Fast-Growing Funds Manager

Our client is a fast-growing funds manager based in the Sydney CBD. They operate in one of the strongest growth areas of the Australian investment market, investor demand is rising, and the business is scaling to meet it. The team is lean and capable, and each hire has a clear impact on how the business develops.

The opportunity

Operations roles in larger fund managers tend to be narrow. This one isn’t. As Fund Operations Manager, you’ll have responsibility across most parts of the business, including fund and investment operations, governance, reporting, investor matters, service providers and the projects that support its growth.

You’ll work closely with senior leadership and own the day-to-day running of the operational side of the business. As the business grows, the scope of the role is expected to grow with it.

For an experienced operations professional, it’s an opportunity to have real influence on a business at an important stage. For someone stepping up into their first manager role, it offers the kind of broad, end-to-end experience that usually takes many years to build.
