Title - Head - Digital Transformation & AI The candidates can apply from any region, we are flexible on location. Build the Operating System of the Firm - We are building a fundamentally different kind of financial services platform — one that is digital-first, AI-enabled, and designed for scale from day one. We are not looking for someone to improve processes. We are looking for someone to replace them. As Head of Digital Transformation & AI, you will redefine how work gets done across the organisation — across fund administration, AIFM, capital markets, Risk, and Compliance and all support functions including Finance, Internal Operations. You will design and build an operating model where: • manual work is the exception, not the norm, • AI is embedded into daily workflows, • decisions are data-driven and real-time, • systems are integrated, not fragmented If you join, your mandate is simple: Rebuild how the company works — using AI, automation, and first-principles thinking. What You Will Actually Do Re-architect how work gets done • Break down existing workflows and rebuild them from scratch, • Eliminate unnecessary steps, approvals, and manual interventions, • Embed AI into every function — not as a tool, but as a default workflow layer, • Define how teams use AI to analyse, validate, draft, monitor, • Design a unified automation + AI ecosystem across the firm, • Replace fragmented tools with a connected platform, • NAV production with minimal manual intervention, • Fully automated reconciliations and exception handling, • Real-time reporting across funds, investors, and management, • Finance → real-time, automated, data-driven, • Build a unified data layer across the organisation, • Enable real-time decision-making, • If people aren’t using it, it doesn’t exist, • Change behaviour across teams and leadership, • Make AI and automation the default way of working What Success Looks Like • Manual work becomes the exception, not the rule, • AI is used daily across all functions, • Fully integrated client/ intermediary platform, • NAV and reporting cycles are faster and cleaner, • The business scales without proportional headcount growth, • The organisation operates as a system, not a collection of processes Who You Are • You think in systems, not tasks, • You challenge everything that exists today, • You build, not just advise, • You move fast and iterate, • You care about outcomes, not tools This Role Is Not For You If • You want to “improve” existing processes, • You need fully defined requirements before acting, • You see yourself as IT or support This Role Is For You If • You want to build something from scratch, • You’ve always thought: “Why is this done this way?”, • You want to redefine how a financial services firm operates The candidates can apply from any region, we are flexible on location.
