SVP Fund Operations Technology (Credit)

Job Description

Our client, a global alternative investment manager, is hiring a Senior Vice President to lead technology strategy and delivery for its credit operations and fund accounting functions. This is a business-facing leadership role rather than a traditional technology seat.

Responsibilities

• Act as the go-to authority on the technology behind credit operations and fund accounting, and own platform strategy across the post-execution trade lifecycle, from capture and confirmation through clearing, settlement and reconciliation.
• Apply deep product knowledge (ABS, convertible and corporate bonds, equities, options and warrants) to how instruments are captured in vendor and in-house systems.
• Use hands-on shadow fund accounting experience, reconciling internal books and records to administrator outputs, to fix breaks where they originate and tighten controls.
• Bring expertise in annual, quarterly, monthly and daily close cycles and their downstream effect on investor deliverables, reporting and NAV.
• Direct the integrations and data feeds that connect the firm to its fund administrators, custodians and prime brokers.
• Run discovery and solution design on large initiatives that span teams, converting business objectives into technical and functional specifications, and own the health and roadmap of core operations platforms with vendors and developers.
• Build and lead a team of business analysts alongside the lead architects and developers, and own delivery of a portfolio of concurrent initiatives with clear plans, governance, risk management and senior reporting.
• Be the senior voice that brings business users, technologists, leadership and outside partners to decisions; lead change management and adoption when new tools roll out; and apply AI and automation to cut manual work and raise delivery standards.

Requirements

• 12+ years at an alternative investment firm or in broader financial services, with a background as a business analyst or product owner.
• Experience coming from a fund, with strong knowledge of credit operations and fund accounting technology.
• A record of hiring, managing and growing teams of BAs or other technologists.
• A track record delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives from concept through adoption.
• Deep alternative investments expertise across derivatives, hedge funds, structured products and private credit.
• Expert knowledge of the post-execution trade lifecycle, including monthly close, cash reconciliation, expense allocation, portfolio setup, compliance checks and trade booking.
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint; you build analysis and decks ready for senior leadership.
• Strong data skills: reconciling, transforming and analyzing large datasets.
• Experience mapping today’s and tomorrow’s operating models and business processes.
• Hands-on with AI and generative AI tools, applied to workflow automation, drafting documents and data analysis.
• A bachelor’s in computer science, economics, finance or a similar field; a master’s is preferred.
