The Role & Company
An excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded alternative investment manager with a leading private credit platform at an exciting stage of its development.
The business is continuing to expand, with increasing complexity across its fund structures, investment strategies and asset classes. Alongside that growth, there is significant investment being made in technology, systems and automation, creating an environment where the finance function is evolving rather than simply maintaining existing processes.
The Fund Control team has broad responsibility across fund reporting, performance analysis, valuations, administrator oversight and investor reporting. This role therefore offers considerably more exposure than a traditional fund accounting position.
You will join a collaborative, high-quality team with a strong culture and approachable people, while benefiting from the strong brand and infrastructure. There is genuine scope to take ownership, broaden your responsibilities and develop as the platform continues to grow.
