Title - Head - Digital Transformation & AI
The candidates can apply from any region, we are flexible on location.
Build the Operating System of the Firm - We are building a fundamentally different kind of financial services platform — one that is digital-first, AI-enabled, and designed for scale from day one. We are not looking for someone to improve processes. We are looking for someone to replace them.
As Head of Digital Transformation & AI, you will redefine how work gets done across the organisation — across fund administration, AIFM, capital markets, Risk, and Compliance and all support functions including Finance, Internal Operations.
You will design and build an operating model where:
* manual work is the exception, not the norm
* AI is embedded into daily workflows
* decisions are data-driven and real-time
* systems are integrated, not fragmented
* there is one integrated client/ intermediary platform to access all services
This is a build-and-transform role, not a maintenance role.
If you join, your mandate is simple: Rebuild how the company works — using AI, automation, and first-principles thinking.
What You Will Actually Do
Re-architect how work gets done
* Break down existing workflows and rebuild them from scratch
* Eliminate unnecessary steps, approvals, and manual interventions
* Move the business to exception-based operations
Make AI part of daily work
* Embed AI into every function — not as a tool, but as a default workflow layer
* Define how teams use AI to analyse, validate, draft, monitor
* Build human + AI systems, not just automation
Build the internal platform layer
* Design a unified automation + AI ecosystem across the firm
* Replace fragmented tools with a connected platform
* Treat internal workflows like products, not processes
Automate the core engine
* NAV production with minimal manual intervention
* Fully automated reconciliations and exception handling
* Real-time reporting across funds, investors, and management
* Risk & Compliance → automated monitoring and alerts
Transform support functions
* Finance → real-time, automated, data-driven
* Internal Operations → AI-enabled work flow management
Turn data into leverage
* Build a unified data layer across the organisation
* Enable real-time decision-making
* Remove dependency on fragmented spreadsheets and reporting
Drive adoption, not just implementation
* If people aren’t using it, it doesn’t exist
* Change behaviour across teams and leadership
* Make AI and automation the default way of working
What Success Looks Like
* Manual work becomes the exception, not the rule
* AI is used daily across all functions
* Fully integrated client/ intermediary platform
* NAV and reporting cycles are faster and cleaner
* The business scales without proportional headcount growth
* The organisation operates as a system, not a collection of processes
Who You Are
* You think in systems, not tasks
* You challenge everything that exists today
* You build, not just advise
* You move fast and iterate
* You care about outcomes, not tools
This Role Is Not For You If
* You want to “improve” existing processes
* You need fully defined requirements before acting
* You see yourself as IT or support
This Role Is For You If
* You want to build something from scratch
* You’ve always thought: “Why is this done this way?”
* You want to redefine how a financial services firm operates
