Job description

Client Lead - Fund Operations to Embankment, Stockholm

On-site with one dedicated client • Team lead role

About the role

This is not a traditional service role. As Client Lead, you will have complete end-to-end responsibility for one dedicated client – acting as their primary point of contact and trusted operational partner across all aspects of fund administration and accounting. You will own the relationship, the quality, and the team behind it. You'll be on-site at the client’s office 2‑3 days a week, deeply embedded in their world. You'll lead a team of two to three specialists at Embankment – motivating them, structuring their work, and ensuring every single deliverable leaves your desk at the highest standard. You are the working leader: hands‑on in the detail and accountable for the big picture.

You will develop into the foremost internal expert on your client – knowing their fund structures, investor base, regulatory requirements, and operational nuances better than anyone. You will actively leverage AI tools and digital innovation to continuously raise the quality bar and sharpen how work gets done.

Main responsibilities

• End‑to‑end fund administration for one dedicated client – accounting, drawdowns, distributions, capital calls, NAV calculations and financial reporting
• Act as the client’s primary point of contact, present on‑site 2‑3 days per week, building deep trust and a partnership‑level relationship
• Lead and develop a team of 2‑3 fund operations specialists – setting direction, structuring workloads, coaching performance, and ensuring perfect deliverables every time
• Become the internal expert on your client – their fund structures, investor base, reporting needs and operational nuances
• Manage and review complex fund processes including NAV reconciliations, waterfall calculations, investor allocations, and regulatory reporting
• Coordinate with Embankment’s cross‑functional teams on behalf of your client – compliance, legal, AML/KYC, technology and onboarding
• Accounting and reporting for the client’s management company and related entities
• Drive continuous improvement – proactively identify opportunities to apply AI, automation, and digital tools to raise efficiency and quality
• Contribute to the broader Embankment team: share expertise, build best practices, and help shape how the firm scales

About you

You’re a confident, ownership‑minded professional with a background in fund operations, fund accounting, or alternative investment administration. You have the expertise to be a true specialist, the instincts to lead a team, and the personality to become your client’s most trusted partner. We’re looking for someone who combines technical excellence with genuine relationship hunger. You don’t just want to deliver good work – you want to be indispensable to your client and exceptional to your team.

You bring

• Extensive experience in fund operations, fund accounting, or alternative investment administration (private equity, venture capital, real estate, or similar)
• A track record of owning complex client relationships or senior operational responsibilities independently
• Deep knowledge of fund accounting: NAV calculations, drawdowns, distributions, waterfalls, investor reporting, and regulatory filings
• Experience leading or mentoring others – you know how to motivate a team, structure their work, and hold quality high
• Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with modern fund administration platforms
• Clear, professional communication – in English and ideally Swedish or Danish

You are

• Genuinely passionate about client relationships – you find energy in being close to the client, not in staying behind the scenes
• A working leader – you motivate, structure and develop your team while staying hands‑on in the work yourself
• Obsessed with quality – you take personal pride in perfect deliverables and never cut corners
• An expert in the making – you want to know your client’s business inside and out
• Genuinely excited by AI and digital tools – you actively seek smarter ways of working and embrace change
• A developer at heart – committed to growing yourself, your team and the client relationship over time
