About the Role
This is a blended role across Technology and Business Operations as part of the Portfolio Operations - Client & Portfolio Technology & Operations Team within InvesTech. InvesTech provides each of Wellington's investment teams with the data, controls, and support they need to ensure that their investment intent is accurately reflected in accordance with client regulatory and operational requirements. This is a great opportunity for an experienced Analyst to join a strong, collaborative, global, and blended technology and operations team in a role with leadership and advancement opportunities. The individual will be responsible for supporting the portfolio accounting technology application suite as well as day-to-day activities associated with managing and processing of portfolio accounting activity with a specific focus on those in Asia Pacific.
Our Portfolio Accounting Technologies serve complex requirements on multiple fronts including:
The Operational responsibilities will include data analysis, validation, and adjustment of portfolio accounting transactions processed through the portfolio accounting systems as a part of a global team. Expect to communicate regularly with other groups within InvesTech, and across the firm including Trading, Portfolio Management, Legal, Performance, Derivative Operations, Private Equity, and Global Relationship Management. You will also serve as a resource to other members of the Portfolio Operations team in Asia Pacific for portfolio accounting knowledge, escalations, and guidance.
Due to the many consumers of portfolio accounting data throughout the firm, this position requires excellent analysis and communication skills. You must be a self-starter with the ability to multi-task and work on a variety of assignments with people at all levels of the organization.
This position requires some early, late and weekend shift coverage.
