About the role
We're hiring for a Head of Fund Administration / COO, Fund Operations in Chicago, IL .
Corgi ETF is building its fund administration function in-house. We work with external transfer agents and custody providers, but the operating model, controls, NAV governance, and reporting readiness sit with our team.
We need the person who wants to own all of it.
The Role:
This is the control tower. You are accountable for whether the platform produces a legally defensible NAV and reporting package every single day. You design the operating model, own the control framework, manage exception escalation, govern the vendor stack, and ensure the fund is always board and audit ready.
What You Will Own:
End-to-end daily operating model from trade capture through NAV signoff.
Exception management and escalation logic across accounting, pricing, custody, and TA.
Service-provider governance across custodian, pricing vendors, auditors, tax counsel, and reporting vendors.
Operating procedures, RACI, and control narratives.
Board reporting, audit package readiness, and SEC exam coordination.
Launch readiness for new funds and business continuity protocols.
What We Need to See:
Prior ownership of a fund administration function for ETFs or registered funds.
Daily NAV governance experience with actual strike decision authority.
ETF primary market workflow familiarity (baskets, AP relationships, create/redeem).
Vendor management and issue escalation at the service-provider level.
Complex product exposure, preferably active ETFs or derivatives-heavy strategies.
Director / SVP / Head-of-Function level experience.
This is a ground-floor opportunity to design and run the operating model for a growing ETF complex.
