Hands-on operational role within an Irish Super ManCo. Responsible for execution of day-to-day operational controls, maintenance of evidence, and support of oversight activities, supporting our Designated Persons. This role is broad by design and suited to an individual comfortable working close to detail, taking ownership, and contributing across the full operational lifecycle in a lean, senior-led team. The ManCo operates with a relatively flat structure; accordingly, this is not initially a people management rile and is expected to be more standalone and self-driven in nature.

What Success Looks Like In This Role

• Work delivered accurately, on time, and with appropriate ownership.
• Documentation is clear, consistent, and inspection ready.
• Issues are identified early and progressed constructively.
• Senior staff can rely on the individual’s execution and judgement support.
• Operations remain stable and well controlled, including during peak periods.

• Document work clearly and store evidence in agreed locations.

Issue Identification & Escalation Support

• Identify operational issues, breaks, and exceptions.
• Document issues with clear analysis and context.
• Escalate matters through agreed frameworks.
• Track remediation actions through to closure.

Oversight & Governance Support

• Prepare information and evidence packs for delegate and service-provider oversight.
• Maintain incident, action, and remediation trackers.
• Attend operational and service-provider calls; capture minutes and actions.
• Support internal governance forums and committees.

Periodic, Project & Ad-Hoc Activity

• Contribute to periodic operational reporting.
• Support audit, regulatory review, and inspection preparation.
• Assist with fund launches, wind-downs, and operational-model changes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of processes and documentation.

• Strong Excel and data-handling capability.

Desirable

• Exposure to Irish UCITS and/or AIFMD frameworks.
• Experience working with Fund administrators, custodians, or transfer agents.
• Familiarity with NAV-related processes and operational controls.
• Experience in overseeing regulated distribution activities would be advantageous but is not essential.
