AVP - Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement

The Citco Group Limited•Guernsey, WY

About The Position

Citco is a global leader in fund services, corporate governance and related asset services with staff across 50 office locations worldwide. With more than $1.8 trillion in assets under administration, we deliver end-to-end solutions and exceptional service to meet our clients’ needs. Fund Administration is Citco’s core business, and our alternative asset and accounting service is one of the industry’s most respected. Our continuous investment in learning and technology solutions means our people are equipped to deliver a seamless client experience. Strategic Operations is a dedicated function within Private Assets, created to take the development and delivery burden off Operations and to close the gap between project design and operational adoption — by making both the responsibility of the same people. The team owns transformation delivery, project execution, business analysis, operational initiatives and implementation support, rather than relying on already stretched BAU teams and SMEs. The team is organised into three delivery pods across two remits. EVP 1 — Operating Model & Product covers Pod A (Operating Model, Product & Client Solutions). EVP 2 — Technology, Data & Delivery covers Pod B (Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement) and Pod C (Digital Workflow, Automation & AI). Business analysis and implementation capability is embedded in every pod rather than centralised, with EVP 2 owning the standards for requirements, testing, cutover and benefits tracking. This role sits in Pod B — Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement, which sets out Operations’ requirements with IT and the Transformation Office and delivers alongside them. The group works in close partnership with Operations, the Transformation Office, IT, Tactical Operations and our Marquee Client teams. Roles are offered on both a permanent basis and as approximately 12-month rotational assignments, and are anchored in our strategic locations. Rotational colleagues join from the business, shape the change, and return to the line owning the delivery with broader project experience behind them.

Requirements

4+ years’ experience in private assets accounting or operations, with exposure to reporting or data work.
Solid technical knowledge of private assets processes and the data they produce.
Hands-on experience building or maintaining reporting, or a clear appetite to develop in that direction.
Comfortable working with technology partners and asking the questions needed to get to a root cause.
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate data and evidence a recommendation.
Attention to detail and a proven ability to manage several pieces of work at once.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Advanced computer skills (Microsoft Excel); exposure to reporting, workflow or automation tooling an advantage.
Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance or Economics; working towards a professional accounting designation an advantage.
Deep technical and operational knowledge — genuine depth in how our processes, data and platforms actually work — the detail that only comes from having run the work.
Curiosity — the instinct to ask why a process looks the way it does, to challenge the answer, and to keep asking whether there is a better way.
A transformational mindset — comfortable redesigning end to end rather than patching, and prepared to see change through past go-live to the point where it is genuinely adopted.
Ownership through to adoption — accountability does not end at delivery; success is measured by whether the change sticks in the business.
Commercial and client awareness — an understanding of what we can genuinely run, so that what we commit to a client is deliverable.
Global mindset — working across regions, jurisdictions and time zones, and designing solutions that scale beyond a single desk, client or location.
Ambition to shape Citco’s future — an appetite to help build the operating model we will run for years, and to be measured on whether it works.
