London (hybrid) | Global asset manager | Fund Operations
Daily dealing funds are where this role lives. A leading global asset manager is hiring a Fund Accounting Senior Specialist to be the technical authority on valuation and NAV — the person who spots the risk in a fund merger before anyone else does, and turns up with the solution rather than the escalation.
What you'll need — the non-negotiables:
- Strong fund accounting experience across daily dealing funds. This is the core of the role and the first thing we'll look for. Hedge fund exposure alongside it is a real advantage.
- Deep technical grounding in swing pricing, fair valuation, valuation points and performance fees. These four come up constantly, you need to have owned them, not observed them.
- Product change experience as a subject matter expert — onboardings, launches, closures, mergers, transitions, and everything they throw up in fund accounting terms.
- Genuine problem-solving instinct. You identify risks, propose solutions and think ahead. This is not a role for someone who executes tasks and waits.
- Confidence running cross-functional processes, coordinating comfortably with front office, compliance and middle office.
- Initiative and commercial judgement — you think an issue through and arrive with options before escalating.
- Strong Excel, and communication skills that stand up in front of senior stakeholders.

What you'll do
You're the fund accounting and NAV SME on the product change pipeline; fund launches and closures, mergers and restructures, in-specie transfers, large client transitions and complex client product solutions, keeping Fund Operations aligned so change lands cleanly first time.

Alongside that you'll:
- Run the large redemptions process, chairing the working group and selecting the right liquidity management tool for each event so redeeming and remaining investors are treated fairly
- Apply the Swing Pricing Policy and analyse its effectiveness on an ongoing basis
- Assess regulatory change, working with Product, Compliance and the TPAs on the impact to the team
- Resolve complex NAV issues and queries from internal and external parties
- Test and implement performance fee models
No direct reports. This is influence and expertise, not headcount.
Don't tick every box? Apply anyway — strong daily dealing fund accountants with the right technical grounding are who we want to hear from.
