As a world leading provider of integrated solutions for the alternative investment industry, Alter Domus (meaning “The Other House” in Latin) is proud to be home to 90% of the top 30 asset managers in private markets and more than 6,000 talented professionals across 24 jurisdictions.

With a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in alternatives, we believe in being different – in what we do, in how we work, and most importantly in how we enable and develop our people. Invest yourself in the alternative, and join an organization where you progress on merit, where you can speak openly with whoever you are speaking to, and where you will be supported along whichever path you choose to take.

The Depositary Manager – Manila is responsible for establishing, leading, and scaling the Manila Depositary team, ensuring the delivery of high-quality depositary support services across Cash Flow Monitoring, Record Keeping and Safekeeping, NAV Oversight, and Due Diligence activities.

Build, develop, and scale the Manila Depositary team, including recruitment, onboarding, training, and organizational design, while adapting the operating model as new activities and fund jurisdictions are transitioned into Manila.

Serve as the primary operational partner for fund-site Managers and Senior Officers, coordinating priorities, managing handovers, facilitating feedback, and escalating issues or exceptions as appropriate.

Oversee the quality of team deliverables through effective review processes, ensuring supporting documentation, cash flow assessments, evidence, and control checklists are complete, accurate, and ready for fund-site review.

Manage team capacity, workload distribution, and resource planning across multiple funds and client segments to ensure effective service delivery and scalability.

Own Manila operational KPI reporting, participate in governance and oversight meetings, monitor performance trends, and drive timely resolution of issues through to closure.

Maintain operational resilience and business continuity readiness in partnership with the ADDC Vilnius team through cross-training, knowledge sharing, task coverage planning, and business continuity testing.

Develop team capabilities through coaching, mentoring, and performance management, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, collaboration, and operational excellence.
