Job Description

The Tidal Financial Group is a leading ETF investment technology platform dedicated to creating, operating, and growing ETFs. We combine expertise and innovative partnership approaches to offer comprehensive, value-generating ETF solutions. Our platform offers best-in-class strategic guidance, product planning, trust and fund services, legal support, operations support, marketing and research, and sales and distribution services.

About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Fund Administrator to support regulatory reporting and fund administration activities across the Trusts sponsored by Tidal and its clients.

This role is primarily responsible for the monthly collection, validation, and analysis of data for more than 300 funds to support regulatory filings, including Forms N-PORT and N-CEN. The position requires aggregating information from multiple sources — including investment advisers, fund accounting agents, custodians, and third-party data providers such as Bloomberg — analyzing and reconciling the data, and ensuring its accurate ingestion into standardized reporting templates for regulatory submission.

This role reports to the Trust Administration / Regulatory Reporting Manager and may also support broader fund administration activities on an ad hoc basis. The ideal candidate is highly organized, adaptable in a fast-paced environment, and possesses advanced Excel skills and strong regulatory reporting experience within the ETF or registered fund industry.
