• Strong experience assessing operational controls and risk implications across fund accounting, reporting, and oversight functions
• Demonstrated business analysis expertise, including requirements gathering, process mapping, current‑ vs. future‑state analysis, and impact assessment
• Effective influencer and communicator with experience engaging senior leaders, vendors, and technical partners, including executive‑level presentations
• Strong organizational, prioritization, and project management skills; experience with Agile teams, operational transformation, and familiarity with automation, data, or AI tools is a plus
• We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
