- Own the Operations' view of the data and reporting roadmap, including data quality, lineage, ownership and reporting capability.
- Set out Operations' requirements with IT and the Transformation Office, then deliver alongside them rather than handing over.
- Lead platform enablement work - ensuring platform change is specified, tested and adopted with Operations in the room throughout.

- Provide the data and evidence base that other focus areas rely on to quantify a problem and measure a benefit.
- Coordinate across Operations, IT, the Transformation Office, Tactical Operations and Data Services.
- Lead and mentor focus area resources, including rotational colleagues joining from the business.
- Report on progress, risks, dependencies and benefits realisation to the relevant leader and senior stakeholders.
QualificationsAbout You- You have 12-15 years' experience in private assets or a comparable financial services environment, with substantial exposure to data and platform initiatives.
- Proven delivery of data, reporting or platform programmes, including requirements definition and UAT ownership.
- Strong technical knowledge of private assets accounting and operations, and of the data those processes produce and consume.
- Practical understanding of data models, lineage, controls and reporting architecture.
- Credibility with technology partners - able to challenge a design and hold a delivery date.

What We Expect of the Strategic Operations Team- Regardless of role or focus area, everyone in Strategic Operations is expected to demonstrate the following:
- Deep technical and operational knowledge - genuine depth in how our processes, data and platforms actually work - the detail that only comes from having run the work.
- Curiosity - the instinct to ask why a process looks the way it does, to challenge the answer, and to keep asking whether there is a better way.
- A transformational mindset - comfortable redesigning end to end rather than patching, and prepared to see change through past go-live to the point where it is genuinely adopted.
- Ownership through to adoption - accountability does not end at delivery; success is measured by whether the change sticks in the business.
- Commercial and client awareness - an understanding of what we can genuinely run, so that what we commit to a client is deliverable.
- Global mindset - working across regions, jurisdictions and time zones, and designing solutions that scale beyond a single desk, client or location.
- Ambition to shape Citco's future - an appetite to help build the operating model we will run for years, and to be measured on whether it works.
