The client

Our client is a fast-growing funds manager based in the Sydney CBD. They operate in one of the strongest growth areas of the Australian investment market, investor demand is rising, and the business is scaling to meet it. The team is lean and capable, and each hire has a clear impact on how the business develops.

The opportunity

Operations roles in larger fund managers tend to be narrow. This one isn’t. As Fund Operations Manager, you’ll have responsibility across most parts of the business, including fund and investment operations, governance, reporting, investor matters, service providers and the projects that support its growth.

You’ll work closely with senior leadership and own the day-to-day running of the operational side of the business. As the business grows, the scope of the role is expected to grow with it.

For an experienced operations professional, it’s an opportunity to have real influence on a business at an important stage. For someone stepping up into their first manager role, it offers the kind of broad, end-to-end experience that usually takes many years to build.

What you’ll be responsible for

- Managing day-to-day fund and investment operations, including NAV, unit pricing and registry oversight
- Overseeing governance, reporting and compliance




- Managing relationships with fund administrators, custodians, auditors and other providers
- Providing operational insight and support to leadership
- Improving processes and systems as the business scales
- Taking ownership of recent operational initiatives as they arise

About you

- 5+ years’ experience in investment operations, fund accounting, fund administration, responsible entity or trustee services, or a related funds management area
- A sound understanding of how a funds management business operates
- Comfortable working across both detail and the bigger picture
- Organised, proactive and suited to a varied role
- Able to build strong working relationships with senior stakeholders
- CA, CPA or CFA highly regarded

Why apply

- Breadth of operational experience that’s hard to find at a larger firm
- A business with genuine growth momentum
- Close involvement with leadership and decision-making
- Scope for the role to develop as the business does
- $150k–$220k base plus super, depending on experience
- Sydney CBD location
