Manager, Investment Compliance – Fidante

Help Shape the Future Investment Compliance Environment at Fidante

• Fidante is entering a significant new chapter, with the implementation of Charles River and State Street Alpha reshaping how investment teams, operations and service providers work together.

• As part of this transformation, we're building the team that will support, evolve and ultimately own the new operating environment long after implementation is complete.

• This is an opportunity to join at a pivotal time, influence how investment compliance operates in the future and work closely with stakeholders across a sophisticated funds management business.

About the role

As Manager, Investment Compliance, you'll lead investment compliance oversight and reporting across a diverse range of portfolios and investment strategies, ensuring activities remain aligned to client mandates, regulatory obligations and internal governance requirements.

Working closely with Portfolio Managers, Investment Operations, Company Secretariat and external service providers, you'll provide practical compliance guidance while helping build a robust and scalable compliance and reporting framework for the future.

Key responsibilities

• Oversee pre- and post-trade compliance monitoring activities

• Manage compliance breaches, incidents and remediation activities

• Act as the subject matter expert for investment compliance rules and monitoring requirements

• Translate mandates and investment guidelines into effective compliance monitoring rules

• Oversee compliance rule governance, testing and ongoing effectiveness within Charles River

• Manage relationships with State Street and other service providers

• Support onboarding of new clients, investment mandates and products

• Carry out substantial shareholder monitoring and support disclosure obligations

• Deliver reporting and insights to stakeholders, committees and governance forums

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone with deep investment compliance experience who can combine strong technical expertise with sound judgement and the ability to influence stakeholders across a complex funds management environment.

You'll bring:

• Significant investment compliance experience gained within funds management, asset management, investment risk or a closely related environment

• Strong working knowledge of Charles River and investment compliance monitoring systems, including compliance rule governance and oversight

• Experience interpreting investment mandates, client guidelines and regulatory obligations and translating them into practical compliance frameworks

• Strong investment compliance and governance expertise, including breach management, monitoring programmes and control oversight

• Experience working with outsourced service providers and operating models, ideally within an investment management environment

• The ability to build credibility and influence Portfolio Managers, Investment Operations and other key stakeholders

• Strong judgement, analytical capability and a practical approach to managing compliance risk

• Exceptional written communication, reporting and stakeholder engagement skills

Why join?

This is an opportunity to do more than operate an existing framework. You'll help shape how investment compliance is delivered in a newly established operating environment while working alongside experienced investment professionals across the Fidante business
