About The Role

• Department: Investment Management
• Location: Leeds (Hybrid)
• Contract: 12 month FTC

We are looking to recruit an individual with passion for the industry to join a well-established team. This role requires a multi-tasker with excellent prioritising skills as it will be working with one highly experienced administrator and another newer entrant to the industry in supporting an office of five Investment Managers.

This work will cover all aspects of administration of the accounts, from opening, working with investment managers during the account’s life, and closing accounts, while ensuring this is performed in a compliant manner. Attention to detail and delivering on deadlines are essential.

The individual will report to the deputy head of the branch while working closely with the investment managers and rest of the team / office.

We will provide full training for the role, we work collaboratively to achieve the teams’ goals, and this will be a good grounding for a career in the industry with the potential, if the branch continues to expand, to progress your career further into a permanent role.

Responsibilities

• You should be comfortable writing and responding to emails and letters as well as talking to clients on the phone.

• You will be required to facilitate the smooth opening of new accounts, arrange payments to our clients and advisers, and ensure Investment Managers are well prepared for client meetings.
• You will be working very closely with our clients and their agents (IFAs, solicitors and accountants) to provide the best service with information and reports regarding their portfolio, which necessitates close relationship building with our stakeholders whether that be internally or externally. You will therefore need to have a pleasant and personable manner, able to get on with a variety of clients and have a keen eye for detail.
• You are required to help with general team admin tasks like meeting minutes, CPD (continuous professional development) record keeping for regulated members of the team and booking events, meeting rooms and restaurants for clients’ meetings.

About You

• Strong administration skills are a must.
• To be successful in this role you will be an independent worker and thinker.
• You have an interest in financial services or have a good understanding of our financial services where you can utilise your knowledge and experience within investment management.
• A good level of communication skills is required.
• A willingness to learn, and take on responsibility is essential to ensure your team is supported.
