Chief Operating Officer (COO) | Leading Asset Management Firm
About the Role
Our client, an established and innovative asset management firm, is seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to drive operational excellence and support its continued growth. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a leadership role at a firm with a proven track record and a culture built on collaboration, humility, and client-centric success.
As COO, you will assume key operational responsibilities and oversee critical areas including finance, compliance, and fund administration, working closely with senior team members to streamline operations, foster engagement, and drive efficiencies.
Key Responsibilities
Operational Leadership
- Lead and enhance operations across finance, compliance, and fund administration.
- Collaborate with senior team members to improve workflows and processes.
- Ensure operational excellence that aligns with the firm’s strategic goals.
Team Engagement
- Foster a collaborative and inclusive team culture.
- Inspire and mentor team members, ensuring professional development and alignment with company objectives.
Strategic Development
- Drive operational improvements without disrupting the firm’s team-oriented culture.
- Serve as a bridge between operational functions and leadership to streamline communication and delivery.
- Balance strategic transformation with cultural sensitivity.
The Ideal Candidate

- Experience overseeing key functions: compliance, finance, and fund administration.
- Ability to implement process improvements whilst maintaining team cohesion.
- Strong interpersonal skills with a natural ability to inspire and engage teams.
- Collaborative leadership style that values humility, precision, and client outcomes.

What’s on Offer?
- A competitive compensation package with discretionary bonus.
- A role central to the firm’s growth and long-term success.
- Opportunity to shape operations at a growing, well-regarded asset management firm.
