Why consider it?
This isn't a traditional processing-focused Middle Office position. You'll have direct exposure to investment teams and portfolio managers , while developing deeper knowledge across credit valuations, fund structures and portfolio performance.
You'll also join a highly regarded global investment business that places significant emphasis on technology, data and automation , giving you the opportunity to become involved in projects beyond your day-to-day Middle Office responsibilities.
