Le Meas Executive Search is partnering with an established international financial services group seeking an Investment Accounting Systems Manager in Dublin — a rare blend of investment accounting depth, systems ownership and project delivery.

The role

You'll be the business owner and go-to expert for the group's core investment accounting platform — shaping priorities, leading enhancements, and managing the integrations, data and controls that keep reporting accurate. You'll manage one direct report, lead international teams functionally, own the vendor relationship, and help integrate newly acquired businesses.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the platform end to end: data integrity, processes, controls
• Partner with Finance, Investments, Risk and IT on improvements and integrations
• Lead upgrades and new functionality — requirements through to go-live and training
• Onboard acquisitions, validating opening investment positions
• Manage vendor contracts, SLAs and escalations
• Oversee investment accounting, reconciliations and reporting across monthly, quarterly and annual cycles
• Support access governance, SOX controls and audit requirements
• Coach and develop your direct report

Required Qualifications & Experience:

• 7 + years supporting an investment accounting platform — PAM, Geneva, SimCorp, Clearwater or equivalent — ideally within investment operations, securities processing, reconciliations or financial reporting
• Solid grounding in investment accounting, portfolio reporting, data controls and integrations
• Systems project delivery experience, from requirements to implementation and training
• Strong analytical and stakeholder skills, with a control-focused mindset
• Background Accounting or Accounting Qualification a distinct advantage
• Insurance investment accounting experience is strongly preferred; asset management and/or broader financial services will also be considered
