Job description

Our purpose is to give everyone real confidence to put their money to work. With a heritage dating back more than 175 years we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions.

Our two distinct operating segments Asset Management and Life work together to provide access to balanced long‑term investment and savings solutions.

Through telling it like it is owning it now and moving it forward together with care and integrity; we are creating an exceptional place to work for exceptional talent.

We will consider flexible working arrangements for any of our roles and also offer workplace accommodations to ensure you have what you need to effectively deliver in your role.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and strategic senior leader to join our Client Reporting function as Head of Fund Reporting & Documentation. This role bridges BAU responsibilities with strategic operating model design. BAU responsibilities include the production oversight and continuous evolution of all fund‑related documentation provided to clients and regulators including factsheets, regulatory disclosures and other investor communications.

The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in fund reporting processes and systems, demonstrate strong risk and control behaviours and lead the transformation of manual workflows and processes into automated scalable solutions. A key element of the role will be to define and support the implementation of a future operating model for the fund reporting team aligning with broader business objectives and projects.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Operating Model Design

• Be a key input into defining the strategic development and future operating model for fund reporting and documentation – people, process, data.
• Be responsible for implementing operating model and strategic changes within the team. Working closely with programme managers to deliver required outcomes.
• Ensure the new operating model is aligned with business growth, regulatory change and client expectations.
• Drive automation and digitisation of reporting processes using appropriate technologies and platforms that align with overall reporting objectives.

Data & Technology

• Possess a strong understanding of the data architecture underpinning fund reporting including factsheets, KIIDs, PRIIPs and annual reports.
• Use this knowledge to generate ideas on how to improve and automate data sourcing.
• Ensure the accuracy, consistency and integrity of data used across all reporting outputs and develop ideas and implement solutions to improve this with technology.
• Have deep knowledge of the underlying data and regulatory data requirements to support strategic improvements to the reporting operating model. Good understanding of analytics and other data sets used in reporting.

Fund Document Oversight & Controls (BAU)

• Own the end‑to‑end production (BAU) and governance of all mutual‑fund‑related documents including factsheets, KIDs / PRIIPs, annual reports and other client and regulatory disclosures.
• Establish and maintain strong control and quality assurance processes to ensure the accuracy, consistency and compliance of all published materials.
• Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and control frameworks to manage operational risk.
• Act as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders including Product Distribution, Compliance, Legal and Investment teams to ensure timely and accurate delivery of fund documentation.
• Manage the BAU change pipeline (e.g. new funds, share‑lesses & new regions).
• Oversee and close steering of vendors.

Harmonisation & Consistency of Reporting Processes

• Work with other reporting teams to establish consistency and harmonisation of reporting processes and technologies.
• Ensure that ways of working are holistic across teams, being a change‑driven influence to deliver this and ensuring your team does not work in isolation.

Regulatory Change Management

• Monitor regulatory developments (e.g. PRIIPs) and lead the implementation of changes to fund documentation in collaboration with Compliance, Legal and other relevant internal stakeholders.

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a high‑performing team of reporting specialists and documentation analysts, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation and continuous improvement.
• Nurture and develop.

Key Knowledge, Skills & Experience

Essential

• Extensive experience in fund reporting and documentation within asset management with deep knowledge of mutual‑fund structures and regulatory requirements.
• Strong understanding of key fund documentation types (e.g. factsheets, KIDs / PRIIPS, prospectuses, annual reports) and their production lifecycle.
• Demonstrated ability to lead operational transformation and implement technology‑driven solutions.
• Deep understanding of client types and reporting requirements within an asset‑management context.
• End‑to‑end knowledge of the client reporting lifecycle: data sourcing, production, quality control and delivery.
• Deep understanding of the data used in the various fund artefacts produced by a client reporting team and a clear understanding of what good looks like to proactively improve client experience.
• Proven leadership experience with the ability to manage teams and influence senior stakeholders across the business.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks impacting fund documentation (e.g. SFDR, PRIIPs, MiFID II, UCITS, AIFMD).
• Experience implementing and managing control frameworks and quality assurance processes.
• Strong project management and change delivery skills with a track record of driving operational improvements.
• A solution‑oriented approach to business challenges; a strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into actionable plans.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex information into clear, client‑friendly outputs.
• Experience working with reporting platforms, data tools and automation technologies.
• Ability to manage vendor relationships and oversee outsourced production processes.
• Experience working with offshore teams is key.

Desirable

• Experience with digital distribution of fund documents and integration with client portals or platforms.
• Knowledge of data management principles including data lineage, governance and quality.
• Familiarity with Power BI or similar tools for reporting and MI generation.
• Exposure to ESG‑related reporting and documentation requirements.
• Experience working in a global multi‑jurisdictional environment.
• Strong experience in a similar role within asset management.
