The Opportunity
We are partnering with the fund administration business of a US-headquartered, publicly listed global investment services group.
As part of its expansion in APAC, the firm is hiring for a senior Relationship Manager position in Singapore, its regional hub, to manage and develop relationships with some of the region’s most prominent investment managers.
This is a technically driven, senior client-facing role — not a conventional sales position. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in fund administration and fund accounting, with the credibility to hold discussions with senior finance stakeholders on complex fund-related matters.
Key Responsibilities
Client Relationship Management
- Own and develop relationships with a portfolio of leading investment management clients.
- Serve as a trusted senior contact for client CFOs and finance leadership, managing complex discussions and escalations.
Technical Expertise & Service Delivery
- Leverage strong knowledge of fund administration and fund accounting to address client needs and provide technical guidance.
- Work closely with internal operations teams to resolve service issues and ensure effective delivery against client expectations.
Client Growth & Business Development
- Retain and grow existing client relationships by identifying opportunities for additional services and mandates.
- Support new-business pitches and contribute to the development of client relationships and commercial opportunities.
Candidate Profile
- Minimum 15 years of relevant experience in fund administration.
- Strong technical knowledge of fund administration, fund accounting or fund finance.
- Experience servicing tier 1 investment managers and managing senior client relationships.
- Ability to engage credibly with CFOs and senior finance stakeholders.
- Commercial acumen, with the ability to retain and grow client relationships and support new business.
- Experience with a leading fund administrator or custodian, ideally with exposure to alternative investments.
- Candidates transitioning from operations into relationship management are welcome, provided they have a proven track record of owning client relationships.
