We are seeking a Director to mature, operationalize, and scale this capability across the line of business. You will influence senior leaders, translate business goals into measurable outcomes, and implement a structured framework for intake, prioritization, execution oversight, and insight‑driven reporting to improve decision quality, speed, transparency, and regulatory readiness. You will build trusted relationships across internal and external partners, define what success looks like for the BEWM model, and operationalize how we capture, scope, prioritize, track, and communicate work through its lifecycle—connecting insights to action and long‑term outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Strengthen and formalize the BEWM operating model end‑to-end—intake & logging, assignment & scoping, tracking & statusing, communications, review & prioritization, reporting & insights—and drive adoption across Fund Administration.
• Mature governance: define policies, standards, RACI, and cadences for the core BEWM routines (Visibility; Assignment & Scoping; Status Review; Business Partner Communication).
• Set a multi‑year strategy and OKRs for BEWM aligned to FFIO and enterprise priorities; measure value creation and drive continuous improvement.
• Bolster and operationalize Fund Admin’s KPI framework (leading/lagging indicators) and work management prioritization methodology balancing risk, regulatory commitments, client impact, capacity, and value.
• Build and lead a multi‑disciplinary team (intake coordination, project/program management, reporting & insights); hire, coach, and develop leaders and specialists.
• Employ a central work intake and tracking solution; ensure data quality, lineage, and a business glossary/data dictionary specifically for BEWM data assets, in close alignment with Fund Administration data stewardship disciplines.
