The role

The Middle Office Oversight Team, part of Investment Operations, provides oversight of the Operational activities undertaken by our delegated Investment Management firms and our custodian.

The Senior Reporting & Guideline Monitoring Analyst plays a key role within our Middle Office Oversight team, leading the effective monitoring of investment activity to ensure compliance with Fund Prospectus Investment Guidelines and Objectives, and with additional restrictions contained within Investment Management Agreements.

Working closely with our external service providers and internal stakeholders, you will oversee the post‑trade monitoring activity, identify and escape any exceptions or potential breaches, and ensure timely resolution.

Effective investment guideline monitoring is critical to safeguarding fund integrity and, ultimately, our clients. This role is central to ensuring adherence to established guidelines and proactively identifying, managing, and resolving potential breaches in collaboration with subject matter experts across the Investment Division.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in investment operations, compliance monitoring, or related risk management role, who enjoys analytical work, managing exceptions, and driving high standards of control and governance.

Main responsibilities of the role

• Conduct daily post‑trade monitoring to ensure portfolios comply with fund guidelines and restrictions.
• Partner with Investment Risk, Governance, Trustees, and external providers to ensure accurate setup and maintenance of guidelines within post‑trade monitoring systems.
• Investigate guideline monitoring alerts, escalating, and coordinating resolution of potential breaches and ensuring timely corrective action.
• Monitor service standards through ongoing engagement, service reviews, and participation in annual due diligence activities.
• Maintain robust records of regulatory and guideline breaches, including resolutions and root cause analysis.
• Provide subject matter expertise to onboarding, fund lifecycle, and due diligence activities for new managers and strategies.
• Ensure procedures, process documentation, and controls remain complete, accurate, and up to date.
• Support Middle Office Oversight activities (regulatory reporting oversight, NAV reconciliation oversight, compliance with derivative regulations such as UMR and Mandatory Clearing etc) as required to provide coverage.
• Proven experience within investment operations, compliance monitoring, or risk management in an investment or asset management environment.
• Strong understanding of investment guidelines/ restrictions requirements.
• Knowledge of investment operations, investment risk, investment products, and compliance monitoring frameworks.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience working across internal teams and external service providers.
• A strong control mindset with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to handle competing priorities under tight deadlines.
• Highly developed analytical skills, with the ability to interpret guidelines, assess impacts, and resolve issues effectively.
• Demonstrated integrity and professionalism, with a proactive approach to managing compliance‑related matters and fostering trust.
