Investment Trust Oversight Manager

3 months ago

Horsham, United Kingdom Schroders Full time

Who we're looking for

Your day job will be responsible for our Investment Trusts official reports and financial statements. You'll have a keen eye (and enough knowledge of annual and interim statutory reporting) to spot any problems, and resolve them.

We need someone who can help develop team members and take responsibility for ensuring the work gets completed and to a high standard. It's a chance to work on lots of projects, with lots of teams, and with several countries. 

You'll oversee the financial operations of nine investment trusts, for which the accounting, administration and tax functions have been outsourced to third party service providers. The role also includes the oversight of the Custodian Bank and Depositary appointments as well as engagement with the respective appointed auditors for each Trust. There is opportunity to leverage this knowledge and help out with overseeing other fund structures too.

We have around 5,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

The base

You'll be based at our Schroders Campus near Horsham in West Sussex. It's home to our EMEA Operations and Technology Operations hub. 
It has the same high standards and international reputation as our HQ in the City of London, without being in the city: a big, countryside campus (and no commute on the Tube) means life will feel a little different.

• Oversight of forecasting, expense budgets and dividend recommendations
• Monitoring and controlling of fund operating expenses and director payroll
• Servicing of bank loans Oversight of corporation tax and VAT returns
• Coach and support colleagues within the team to promote development and enhance individuals skillsets
• Contribute to the delivery of management information and key performance indicators to senior management

• Knowledge of regulatory frameworks across EMEA (UK/Lux/US GAAP)
• Knowledge of other different fund structures; including Unit Trust, OEICs, SICAVs, ICAV and Private asset funds
• Experience of setting workloads and manging priorities

What you'll be like


• Good at analysing and solving problems
• Able to prioritise and manage activities for the benefit of the business
• Able to work under time pressure and handle a number of tasks at a time
• A really good communicator
• Good at working in a team, and with other teams
• Real attention to detail
