Reporting directly to the COO, you’ll sit at the center of our investment platform, working day to day with our Portfolio Managers, Depositary and other service providers, including an outsourced Middle Office.

You’ll contribute to operational infrastructure changes, development and adherence to robust risk controls. We’ll count on you to monitor, question and challenge, not just process.
