Vice President, Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement
About The Position
Strategic Operations is a dedicated function within Private Assets at Citco. This group brings transformation delivery, project execution, business analysis, operational initiatives, and implementation support into one team. It aims to reduce the delivery burden on BAU Operations and maintain ownership from design through adoption. The group is split into three distinct focus areas, aligned under two individual leaders. The 'Data, Reporting & Platform Enablement' area, led by the Technology, Data & Delivery leader, will define Operations requirements for data, reporting, and platforms, strengthen data quality and lineage, and carry solutions through testing, deployment, and adoption. This 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
- 8+ years’ experience in private assets accounting or operations, with hands-on exposure to data, reporting or platform work.
- Hands-on experience of reporting build, data analysis, system implementation or project delivery.
- Strong technical knowledge of private assets processes and the data that underpins them.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate large data sets and evidence a recommendation.
- Project management skills with attention to detail and a proven ability to multi-task.
- Confident engaging both operational teams and technology partners.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Advanced computer skills (Microsoft Excel); familiarity with reporting, workflow or automation tooling an advantage.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance or Economics; professional accounting designation is preferred.
- 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.
