- Working with investment teams, legal and tax advisers on the structuring of private and registered vehicles, primarily closed-end
- Supporting the Product Committee in managing the product pipeline and communicating new product activity across the business
- Monitoring the competitive landscape, market trends and regulatory developments to identify gaps and opportunities, and regularly reviewing existing product platforms for improvement
- Acting as a primary point of contact for internal partners on product and fund lifecycle questions, and researching and socialising product trends and innovations
The role requires:
- Proven experience working on alternative or private assets funds, across both closed-end and evergreen structures
- Practical experience in product strategy and product development within asset management or alternatives
- Highly numerate, with strong analytical and project management skills and close attention to detail
- A clear communicator, written and verbal, comfortable engaging stakeholders at all levels of seniority, internally and externally
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills, with a genuine interest in applying new technologies such as AI
- Available to commit to a 12-month contract; candidates able to start at relatively short notice will be of particular interest
Why apply:
An opportunity to join a well-capitalised, long-established alternatives platform during an exceptionally active period of product launches, in a role with real ownership of the product agenda and direct exposure to the leadership of the business.
