Ready to redefine how fund administration is delivered? Are you an operational leader who thrives on building high-performing teams, driving transformation and creating scalable solutions? Do you enjoy bringing together people, processes and technology to deliver exceptional client outcomes? At Belasko, we're looking for a Head of Fund Operations to help shape the future of our growing Funds business. This is more than a leadership role. It's an opportunity to influence strategy, drive innovation, embrace emerging technologies and leave a lasting impact on an ambitious, independent business.

Why Belasko? Belasko is a proudly independent fiduciary and fund administration provider, delivering tailored solutions across Funds, Corporate Services and Private Wealth. With offices in Guernsey, Jersey, Luxembourg and the UK, we combine deep technical expertise with a genuinely client‑centric approach. As we continue our growth journey, we’re investing in our people, technology and operational capabilities to ensure we remain a trusted partner to our clients. We’re now looking for an exceptional leader to help drive the next phase of that evolution.

The Opportunity: As Head of Fund Operations, you’ll lead our multi‑jurisdictional Fund Operations function, ensuring the delivery of high‑quality services while helping us build a more efficient, scalable and future‑focused operating model. Reporting directly to the COO and working closely with senior leadership, you’ll play a key role in shaping strategy, leading transformation initiatives and developing a culture of excellence across the business.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

  • Leading People: Inspiring and developing high‑performing teams across multiple jurisdictions. Creating a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement. Coaching future leaders and supporting the continued growth of the business.
  • Driving Operational Excellence: Overseeing fund accounting, financial reporting, investor reporting and operational service delivery. Ensuring robust governance, risk management and control frameworks. Delivering exceptional service standards for clients and stakeholders.
  • Transforming the Future: Leading operational transformation and strategic change initiatives. Identifying opportunities to simplify processes and enhance efficiency. Leveraging technology, automation and AI to strengthen service delivery and operational resilience. Building scalable solutions that support long‑term growth.
  • Influencing Strategy: Contributing to business strategy and Board‑level discussions. Partnering with colleagues across the Group to support growth and innovation. Helping to shape the future direction of Fund Administration at Belasko.

What We’re Looking For: We’re less interested in how long you’ve held a particular title and more interested in the impact you’ve made. You might already be operating at Head of level, or you may be an ambitious senior manager ready for the next step. What matters most is that you:

  • Are a self‑starter who enjoys taking ownership and driving outcomes.
  • Have strong operational experience within fund administration, fund accounting, asset servicing or a related environment.
  • Are comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.
  • Enjoy improving processes, challenging the status‑quo and finding better ways of working.
  • Have a collaborative leadership style and can build credibility at all levels.
  • Are energised by change, growth and the opportunity to make a tangible impact.

Why This Role? Influence the future direction of a growing international business. Lead meaningful transformation and innovation initiatives. Work closely with the Executive Team and senior stakeholders. Shape a scalable operating model fit for future growth. Join a collaborative organisation where your ideas can genuinely make a difference.

Ready to make an impact? If you’re excited by the opportunity to lead, transform and help shape the future of fund administration, we’d love to hear from you.
