About the role

As Senior Client Governance Analyst, you will be part of the Client Governance (CG) team in Edinburgh, focusing on providing excellent service to internal stakeholders and clients of FSI, typically invested directly in our funds and products.

You will also support the team in servicing the needs of our intermediary clients and to develop a good understanding of their requirements.

This role is integral to the safe and efficient delivery of all aspects of client governance, contained within the remit of the team.

A key aspect of this role will be to support the Senior Client Governance Manager(s) in the leadership and development of all members of staff in the team, through coaching and leading by example.

The role will provide, contribute to, or oversee - as applicable - the ‘project management’ for various activities within the team and broader FSI business. Therefore, a key purpose of the role is to be able to flex between analysis, delivery, and project management, as required.

About you

• Demonstrable experience from an asset management or asset servicing firm, with an emphasis on client servicing skillset.
• Demonstrate understanding of the component parts of the client experience of asset management/asset servicing – ‘what does good look like and how to achieve it’.
• A keen awareness of the regulatory environment in which the firm operates, across the multiple jurisdictions in which we market products and service clients.

Your experience

• Experience of the distribution and customer relationship management operation of an asset management business, covering institutional clients and wholesale distribution partnerships, across a range of product types (e.g. UCITs, OEIC, across private markets and public markets)
• Ability to communicate process change and work across different functions to provide input and support to meet the objectives of Client Governance.
• Committed to quality, timely outcomes, managing objectives and delivery results against specific corporate and individual goals.
• Demonstrate an awareness of how Artificial Intelligence can be applied in the day-to-day role.
• A committed team player with a willingness to challenge and be challenged.
• Can work with colleagues at all levels of seniority.
• Ability to work independently, multi-task and meet strict deadlines.
• Proficient in MS Office Suite (Co-pilot, Word, Excel and Outlook).
• Co-ordination of responses to client requests, either directly via email or indirectly through our distribution team and/or relationship management team.
• Liaise between investor and the relevant team to resolve any queries on investor instructions and dealing related activities.
• Maintain awareness of regulatory developments in overseen markets and adjust policies and procedures in line with changes or improvements.
• Takes initiative in identifying processes that may require changes to streamline/enhance team efficiency.
• Communicate issues internally and document/escalate as appropriate, on behalf of our clients and their representatives.
• Work with internal teams on regulatory driven projects, initiatives and deliverables (e.g. Consumer Duty requirements and deliverables, which continue to evolve).
