Aria Partners is delighted to be supporting a high performing Private Credit Fund that is looking to appoint a Senior Fund Operations Manager into a newly created position. The fund has enjoyed a phenomenal period of fundraising and has ambitious plans to continue scaling.
This is a senior, strategically focused position that will require a hands-on approach. The incumbent will manage a team spanning both operations and fund control, acting as a key liaison between investment professionals and support teams.

Key areas of responsibility:
* Oversee the fund finance and portfolio reporting function across both open and closed-ended structures

* Drive process optimisation and contribute to the build-out of operational capabilities as the business evolves.
