A highly successful multi-billion-dollar City investment firm has established a new Investment Platform Services function. This leadership role will head the division, offering the opportunity to shape and build it from the ground up.
Positioned across Operations, Technology, Data, Change, and Investments, the function will take ownership of supplier relationships and act as the primary channel for change with key third parties providing investment and operational solutions - most notably BlackRock for Aladdin. The role will also work closely with internal teams on supporting applications and processes.
