London, United Kingdom Janus Henderson Full time

We are a leading independent global asset manager, dedicated to delivering the best outcomes for our clients through a highly diversified range of actively-managed products. We are truly global, supporting our individual and institutional investors across a range of products, encompassing equities, fixed income, multi-asset and alternatives. Our high-energy and collaborative culture at Janus Henderson helps our client achieve their goals and ensures that our people love the place they work.

Our culture is the foundation for how we interact with clients and one another as part of our unique, people-focused work environment. We support a flexible hybrid working model that allows teams to build a strong and positive culture by inspiring innovation and increasing collaboration. Currently our hybrid working model allows employees to work 2 or more days in office and the remaining time remotely.

Employees and Managers will discuss and determine what schedule works best for them and the team, with additional flexibility available based on the role, business needs, and individual circumstances.

The department

Janus Henderson operates an outsourced model in partnership with our Third-Party Administrators (TPA). The primary focus of the Operations team is the oversight and management of the TPAs as well as supporting internal clients (for example the Distribution and Investment teams). Operations also support numerous projects and operational changes to maintain best practice operational processes.

Overview of the role

This role has two key areas of responsibility:
1) Operational financial crime prevention (“FCP”) activities, primarily:

- the establishment of JHI’s Financial Crime Risk Assessment (“FCRA”) process for Distributors and Intermediaries;

2) Transfer Agent (TA) Oversight:

- monitor and manage service standards provided by TA (including SLAs and KPIs) to ensure excellent client service is delivered.

- Be actively involved in the due diligence process for Segregated Mandate clients, including driving an unrivalled client experience through self-serve opportunities.
