Operations Analyst (Pensions) BLUA63135

Leeds

Competitive Salary

Our client will be one of the largest pensions pools in the UK when established in 2018. They will be one of eight nationally pooled funds, and will oversee the investment of pensions assets, bringing together £43 billion investments of 12 likeminded Local Government Pensions Scheme funds.

They are building an FCA regulated investment company to manage these assets through both internal and external management with a number of investment vehicles, including an Authorised Contractual Scheme. Work on creating  the company is well progressed to ensure the structures are in place to start to take on assets from mid- 2018.

They now have an exceptional opportunity for an Operations Analyst to join them in Leeds to be involved in the initial build and development of what will become one of the largest pension pools in the UK. 

Within the role you will play a key role in driving the future success of one of the largest Pensions Pools in the UK from scratch. You will do this by organising and co-ordinating back and middle office projects, monitoring trade and performance and reconciliation of portfolio positions: identifying “breaks” and reacting to resolve accordingly. Overseeing fund Performance and ensuring accuracy of Custodians performance and reporting, you will be responsible for back office reporting and Cash Management.

With previous back / middle office experience within an asset management company (or similar industry), you will be both reactive when required and proactively look for improvements to support your own workload and the effective operation of the team. A keen problem-solver who shows initiative, you will have good knowledge of financial instruments (including cash, futures and derivatives) and, ideally, financial information and management systems.

This role offers the right candidate the opportunity to be part of a collaborative organisation with the autonomy to directly influence and mould the shape of this business-critical area, ensuring the Operations team is able to provide the best service to its clients.
