Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of projects and workstreams focused on ETF and other fund-related initiatives.
• Act as a liaison between business and technology teams, capturing and translating business requirements into functional specifications.
• Plan, track, and manage project timelines, budgets, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations.
• Facilitate workshops, requirements-gathering sessions, and solution design discussions with internal and external stakeholders.
• Conduct business analysis and process reviews across the ETF lifecycle (e.g., creation/redemption, NAV oversight, trade booking, and reconciliation).
• Monitor progress and produce clear project documentation, including status reports, risk logs, and decision records.
• Coordinate and manage third-party vendors and service providers involved in fund operations or data services.
• Ensure deliverables meet business objectives, regulatory expectations, and quality standards.
• Support testing, implementation, and post-implementation reviews to ensure smooth handover to BAU.

Qualifications / Essential Skills & Attributes

• Proven experience as a Project Manager, with hands-on Business Analysis capabilities.
• Strong knowledge and experience in Funds and Asset Management, particularly in the ETF space (primary and secondary market processes, fund structure, and operations).
• Demonstrable experience delivering projects involving fund accounting, operations, trade lifecycle, or product development.
• Solid understanding of ETF operational models including AP creation/redemption, basket handling, NAV calculation, and market making.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across senior business, operations, IT, and external partners.
• Familiarity with industry platforms (e.g., Bloomberg, Calypso, SimCorp, Eagle) and data providers related to fund services.
• Adept in using project management tools (e.g., JIRA, MS Project, Confluence) and Agile/Waterfall methodologies.
