If you’ve worked as an Investment Administrator, Wealth Management Administrator, Dealing Administrator or similar, and you’re looking for a long-term career with a stable and supportive employer, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re recruiting on behalf of a highly respected, privately-owned financial services business based in Central Hertfordshire. Large enough to offer financial stability and work with some of the UK’s leading investment providers and products, yet small enough that every employee is known, valued and listened to.

This is a genuinely people-focused business where decisions can be made quickly, ideas are welcomed and careers are built for the long term. With an average employee tenure of over 7 years (compared to an industry average of around 2.5 years), the culture speaks for itself.

The Role

Key responsibilities include:

• Processing investment transactions, redemptions and transfer outs
• Supporting daily dealing activities and trade execution
• Administering dividends, maturities and stock movements
• Conducting stock reconciliations and resolving discrepancies
• Processing ISA-related transactions
• Supporting structured products and life assurance bond administration
• Liaising with providers, counter-parties and internal departments
• Ensuring FCA and regulatory compliance requirements are met
• Producing management information and reporting

Who We’re Looking For

Essential:

• Previous experience administering investment and/or life assurance products
• Experience gained within a regulated financial services environment
• Strong numerical and analytical skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Ability to work accurately within tight deadlines
