• Identifying opportunities to enhance processes and documenting proposed improvements for stakeholder review
• Offboarding valuations from the legacy system to the new TPA platform, including supporting testing and query resolution
• Supporting the creation of test plans and scripts and ensuring robust execution
• Communicating operating models, processes and procedures to operational teams and delivering training and ongoing support
• Proactively identifying areas for improvement and strengthening controls to support a risk‑based outsourcing framework
• Delivering value by supporting transformational activity that drives productivity and effective ways of working

Who we’re looking for:

• Experience in fund valuation production or oversight, ideally 5+ years
• Strong understanding of fund valuation processes across PMC and Internal Client fund ranges
• Ability to interpret complex system functionality and articulate it clearly to varied stakeholders
• Experience working with outsourced service providers and/or transition programmes
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to identify and propose process enhancements
• Effective communicator who builds constructive relationships and collaborates well across teams
• Comfortable working in dynamic, multi‑stakeholder delivery environments
• Self‑starter with an inquisitive mindset and commitment to maintaining technical and market knowledge

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution
