Job DescriptionOwns the front-end analysis that turns an emerging business need into a clearly defined, well-understood piece of work - with the outcome, scope, and rationale established before delivery begins.
This is a Solution Analyst role within NAV production project organisation, bringing deep fund accounting and NAV knowledge into the front-end of complex work. The role covers NAV production across all fund types. We are particularly seeking candidates with strong private markets and private equity experience, as this is where we are currently building capability - but the role works across fund types, not private markets alone.
The role sits within the Tech Solutions organisation as a deployable analytical and subject-matter-expert resource. You will not be permanently embedded in any one project or squad, but be deployed more widely against the NAV production pipeline of complex work.
What you'll do- Act as the domain SME and analytical lead for applications supporting NAV production across fund types, with particular depth in private equity and private markets operating models.
- Bring deep NAV production knowledge - across valuations, capital activity, waterfall and allocation mechanics - to the front-end shaping of solutions, so that the work handed to delivery teams reflects how NAV production actually operates and where it can be improved.
- Conduct front-end analysis of complex work - feasibility, operating-model implications, data quality, and readiness - before a delivery team picks the work up.
- Collaborate across stakeholder groups to define and document business requirements, translating current-state analysis, requirements, and gaps into a clear solution intent.
- Go and get the information needed to do the analysis directly - querying data, reviewing system configuration and behaviour, and running analysis using AI tooling where it helps, rather than waiting for others to provide answers.
- Work alongside Solution Owners at the front-end of complex work to shape intent and acceptance criteria for the parts of the work that carry the most complexity.
- Represent technical limitations and implementation realities back to business stakeholders, and business intent back to engineers - translating in both directions.
- Identify risks a delivery team would not otherwise see - data gaps, downstream impacts, operational-readiness concerns, and regulatory implications.
- Partner with Integration Quality Engineers on cross-team and cross-solution test scenarios that no single team can cover.
- Support adoption readiness where value realisation depends on more than the build - communications, training, data clean-up, and operational change - particularly where readiness work spans teams.
- Recognise patterns across the business area - recurring themes, overlaps, and opportunities for reuse - feeding roadmap shaping.
- Create and maintain supporting product documentation, including system overviews, functional narratives, and use cases.
QualificationsRequired- Substantial experience gathering, analysing, and documenting business requirements in a financial services or asset servicing environment.
- Strong working knowledge of alternative investment fund services, with a solid understanding of Private Equity or private markets structures, accounting, processes, and life cycles.
- Demonstrable fund accounting and NAV knowledge.
- Experience extracting business requirements using standard methodologies and translating them into clear solution intent and acceptance criteria.
- Ability to model business processes and produce analytical artefacts - process models, use cases, procedural guides, and scenarios.
- Strong analytical judgement - knowing what to look at, what to ignore, and when analysis is good enough to act on.
- Credibility with both business and technical stakeholders, with the ability to hold a view under questioning.
- Expert proficiency in Excel and Word.
Preferred- Strong, hands-on Investran expertise is highly valued and will distinguish leading candidates, given its central role in our current platform estate.
- Experience with other private markets or fund accounting platforms - such as LemonEdge, Yardi, eFront, or Geneva - is also relevant and welcomed.
- Deeper private markets / private equity domain knowledge - NAV oversight, capital calls and distributions, and waterfall calculations.
- Exposure to AI-assisted analysis and discovery tooling.
- Experience of platform implementation, configuration, or migration projects.
