Job description

Jul 8, 2026

At Aztec, we’re committed to building and nurturing a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued, respected, and able to grow. We know that different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences strengthen our business and we welcome applications from all individuals. So, if your experience doesn’t exactly match with every part of the job description, but you are excited about the role, we would still like to hear from you. If you are passionate, curious, innovative and data driven, you could still be a good fit.

About the role

The Senior Application Manager – Investran is the senior operational and delivery owner for Aztec’s Investran platform capability, with a particular focus on the US market and Private Equity service line. The role ensures Investran is stable, well-governed, audit-ready, and continuously improved, while enabling scalable onboarding, client migrations, integrations, and reporting.

The role combines platform ownership with client onboarding leadership: defining a standardised approach to Investran delivery across Aztec’s global operating model, coordinating delivery across internal technology teams and operational stakeholders, and acting as a senior escalation point for complex issues. The role also ensures the platform operates in line with Aztec’s control environment (including SOC 1 / ISAE-aligned evidence, access controls, and change governance) and that releases are managed through controlled environments from development through to production.

At the Aztec Group we credit our technology as one of the core ingredients to our award-winning outsourced solutions. Our strategy is to deliver a market- leading, outsourced solution to our clients, shaped by the elixir of the Aztec Group and driven by our shared values. These shared values guide how we behave and work – together, and with our clients, stakeholders and the wider communities in which we live.

These are exciting times across the group; significant growth, change, and investment make it a truly world class opportunity to help shape our organisation for the next stage of its own journey.
