We are repositioning our specialist asset management business to meet client demand and are committed to providing excellent client service, supported by leading technology and talent.

As a global business, Aberdeen consists of three divisions: Investments, Adviser, and interactive investor (ii). Each division is dedicated to meeting and adapting to our clients' evolving needs.

Our Asia Pacific Investments business has a large, dedicated and highly experienced investment team which has been investing across the region since 1985, and manages all our Asian products, including regional, country, smaller companies, and sustainable investing propositions.

The team has a strong regional footprint with offices in Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, and Sydney. This breadth gives us close proximity to the companies we own and the markets we invest in. Our APAC operations have been based in Singapore since 1992. We invest in Asian companies to grow with them and to help them to become better investors.

As a Senior Reporting Analyst, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth delivery of client reporting operations while acting as a key point of escalation for junior team members.

• Report Delivery: Organise and deliver client reports to agreed schedules with precision and professionalism.
• Workflow Management: Oversee report workflows using Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
• Process Coordination: Manage changes to reporting procedures, recipients, and formats, maintaining compliance and consistency.
• Performance Monitoring: Track daily team KPIs, identify trends, and provide actionable insights to leadership.
• Ad Hoc Requests: Complete bespoke reporting tasks and coordinate data input for factsheets and client reports, including commentary.

Experience

• 5-6 years of relevant experience in client reporting, performance reporting, investment operations, fund administration, or a similar analytical role – preferably within asset management, financial services, or global shared services environments.
• Proven experience handling complex reporting workflows, including escalation management.
• Ability to manage tight reporting deadlines and coordinating across multiple stakeholders.

Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft 365.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud tools (InDesign, Illustrator, or Acrobat) used in report or factsheet production.
• Comfortable working with large datasets, performance data, and multi‑system reporting environments.
• Familiarity with reporting automation tools or workflow management platforms is a plus.

Soft Skills & Competencies

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex reporting matters clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Strong analytical skills with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and make decisions in fast‑paced scenarios.
• Proactive mindset with a continuous improvement focus.
