Senior Vice President, Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement

The Citco Group Limited•Jersey City, NJ

19h•$200,000 - $325,000•Onsite

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. Strategic Operations is a dedicated function within Private Assets. It brings transformation delivery, project execution, business analysis, operational initiatives and implementation support into one team, reducing the delivery burden on BAU Operations and maintaining ownership from design through adoption. The group will be split across three distinct focus areas, aligned under two individual leaders: Operating Model, Product & Client Solutions; Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement; and Digital Workflow, Automation & AI. The Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement area will define Operations requirements for data, reporting and platforms, strengthen data quality and lineage, and carry solutions through testing, deployment and adoption. The group works in close partnership with Operations, the Transformation Office, IT, Tactical Operations and Marquee Client teams. Roles may be permanent or approximately 12-month rotational assignments anchored in strategic locations. Rotational colleagues will join from the business, help shape and deliver change, and return to the line with broader project experience.

Requirements

12–15 years’ experience in private assets or a comparable financial services environment, with substantial exposure to data and platform initiatives.
Proven delivery of data, reporting or platform programmes, including requirements definition and UAT ownership.
Strong technical knowledge of private assets accounting and operations, and of the data those processes produce and consume.
Practical understanding of data models, lineage, controls and reporting architecture.
Credibility with technology partners — able to challenge a design and hold a delivery date.
Strong leadership skills and supervisory experience of other professionals, including rotational colleagues joining from the business.
Skilled in business planning, budgeting and stakeholder negotiation.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Advanced computer skills (Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint and SharePoint).
Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics or a related field; professional accounting designation a plus.
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.
