About the job

We’re partnering with a leading global alternative investment management firm on a Director of Finance opportunity within one of its fastest-growing investment platforms. This is a broad fund finance leadership role spanning private credit, structured products, fixed income, private investments, fund-of-funds, derivatives, and other alternative investment structures.

The Director will serve as the day-to-day finance lead for the business, with ownership across investment accounting, fund reporting, valuation, third-party fund administrator oversight, cash management, and cross-functional finance initiatives. The position works closely with investment professionals, Portfolio Management, Operations, Tax, Legal, Compliance, and other Finance teams.

The platform supports investment portfolios for insurance-related clients, but prior insurance experience is not required. The focus is investment management and understanding funds, investment structures, NAVs, valuations, waterfalls, and the operational side of managing complex portfolios.

What makes this opportunity unusual is the breadth. Director-level roles at large investment managers are often highly specialized around a single strategy or function. This position offers the resources and infrastructure of a major global firm while maintaining broad ownership across products, finance, operations, and process improvement. The business is growing quickly, and this person will also have meaningful input into how the finance function and team develop.

Responsibilities:

Lead day-to-day finance activities across a diversified alternative investment platform

Oversee third-party fund administrators responsible for investment accounting, NAVs, financial reporting, and other fund deliverables

Partner with investment and portfolio management teams on valuations, investment activity, reporting, and finance-related matters

Review financial statements, capital activity, cash management, expense allocations, consolidations, and audit deliverables

Support a broad portfolio spanning private credit, structured products, fixed income, private investments, fund-of-funds, derivatives, and related investment vehicles

Coordinate closely with Operations, Tax, Legal, Compliance, and other Finance teams on complex fund and investment matters

Evaluate existing processes and build more scalable reporting, controls, and finance infrastructure as the platform grows

Identify opportunities to leverage automation, data, and AI tools to improve finance processes and reporting

Help shape the future team structure, including the development and oversight of additional finance resources

Qualifications:

CPA strongly preferred; CFA or comparable financial/accounting background will also be considered

Progressive accounting, fund finance, investment accounting, or related asset management experience

Combination of Big 4/public accounting and in-house investment management experience strongly preferred

Strong understanding of alternative investment funds, financial reporting, NAVs, capital activity, valuations, waterfalls, and investment structures

Experience overseeing third-party fund administrators or other external service providers

Exposure to private equity, private credit, structured credit, fund-of-funds, or other alternative investment strategies; experience across every asset class is not required

Ability to operate independently, take ownership of a business area, and work effectively in a growing environment
