• Getting involved in wider projects that impact the operating model and infrastructure.
• Working closely with teams across the business – product, finance, compliance, marketing to keep things running smoothly.

What we’re looking for:

• Ideally 5+ years’ experience in a similar funds operations or custody role.
• Someone who can start quickly and bring value from day one.
• A team player who’s proactive, curious, and not afraid to ask questions or challenge the status quo.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confident managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Comfortable working with external partners and internal stakeholders.

What’s in it for you:

• A genuinely varied role where your contribution will be valued.
• The chance to work with a supportive and high-performing team.
• Exposure to exciting fund developments and strategic projects.
• Potential for further opportunities as the business continues to grow.

Please note that only applicant with direct experience within a similar role/environment will be considered for this role.
