• Represent the team in global forums, such as the Valuation Committee, and take ownership of decisions and their implementation.
• Ensure data integrity and support the evolution of the valuations control framework.

The successful Valuations Manager will possess:

• ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent) with 5+ years post-qualification experience.
• Strong technical grounding in private markets valuations, ideally within a fund-of-funds environment.
• Experience managing people and processes in a high-performing finance or operations function.
• A robust understanding of controls, governance, and risk within a regulated environment.
• Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, including third-party oversight.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to independently drive process enhancements.

This is an excellent opportunity to step into a leadership role at a globally respected private markets investor. You’ll gain visibility across the business and help shape the future of valuations and data integrity within a complex and growing portfolio.
