Job description
About The Company
At NaroIQ, we believe the fund industry is undergoing a structural shift: investors are more cost-conscious and transparency-driven than ever, and ETFs are a natural outcome of this shift.
Many management companies (ManCos) excel at running traditional mutual funds, yet they struggle to enter the ETF market. Launching and operating ETFs adds a new layer of complexity: new partners, interfaces, processes, and systems that most existing setups weren’t built for.
NaroIQ gives ManCos a fast, reliable path into the ETF market. We provide the digital ETF infrastructure that reduces operational complexity, so our clients can launch and run ETFs at scale, helping broaden the access to the market beyond a small group of dominant, US-based providers.
NaroIQ is increasing the ETF GDP of Europe.
We are remote-first, with in-person collaboration opportunities. We work with international clients and have raised over $10m from top-tier investors and operators across finance and technology.
The Role and What Makes It Special
You sit at the operational core of our ETF platform. You will own end-to-end responsibility for the ETFs we run: smooth product launches, day-to-day execution and oversight, as well as continuous platform evolution in collaboration with our product team. This is a strongly hands-on role combining investment expertise, market microstructure understanding, operational excellence and cross-functional execution.
You will gain deep exposure to the full ETF value chain, from investment implementation and market mechanics to operational and technology execution. You will have the opportunity to gradually expand your scope into platform building, process scaling, new strategic projects and service development.
What You’ll Do
Capital Markets
Own end-to-end ETF delivery across capital markets, portfolio replication and platform operations
Implement and continuously improve replication models; execute index rebalances and support advisory mandates
Own ETF quality monitoring (tracking error/difference, liquidity/spreads, premiums/discounts, order books), run root-cause analyses and implement corrective actions
Manage creation/redemptions and associated cash flows; oversee daily ETF operations from a portfolio perspective
Support larger secondary market transactions, produce/interpret trade reporting and support ETF launches
Portfolio Management
Take investment ownership for assigned ETFs, actively optimizing portfolio construction, risk and execution to enhance tracking and liquidity
Execute portfolio replication and rebalancing
Run daily validation and reconciliation of key data outputs (pricing, holdings and reference data)
Clients and Ecosystem
Join client demos and workshops as our capital markets expert
Represent NaroIQ at industry events, roundtables and conferences together with our Growth team
Support our Growth and Clients teams on client-specific questions
Working with Product
Raise requirements from daily operations and give business sign-off on what Product delivers
Use and stress-test the AI-driven workflows we build for ETF operations, and feed what you learn back into the roadmap
What We're Looking For
(You don’t need to know it all – but you should be ready to dive in, learn fast and take initiative)
Experience in ETF operations, capital markets, trading, portfolio management, or fund operations
Strong understanding of ETF primary/secondary market mechanics
Hands-on experience running a portfolio management system, ideally to the point of owning its setup, data and daily use
Comfort with operational excellence: high ownership, detail orientation and reliability in a mission-critical operating environment
Experience working at the intersection of finance and tech
Analytical strength and ability to translate domain needs into clear product requirements
You use AI tools in your daily work and would rather automate a process than run it by hand
Comfortable being the external face of the function: with market makers, at industry events and in client demos
Fluent in English and German
CAIA/CFA is a plus
Why NaroIQ
We’re building something ambitious – and we believe the only way to do that is with a team that’s low-ego, high-impact and genuinely excited about what they’re doing.
Here’s what we care about:
🔑 High Ownership We trust you to take full responsibility for your work. That means freedom – and also being the person others rely on when things get real.
🚫 No Bullshit, No Ego We’re too small for politics, posturing, or competing agendas. We care about doing the right thing, not being right.
🧘♂️ Flexibility Exceptional work doesn’t require relocation or fixed office hours. Have dinner with your family. Get that dog. Move to the Alps. We’re remote-friendly and trust people to manage their own time.
🧳 Sometimes We Leave the House We don’t believe in constant travel, but we do make time for real-life moments – like quarterly offsites or in-person team sessions – to solve stuff together or just hang out.
🦸🏻♀️ Hire for Spikes We don’t expect you to be good at everything. We care about your superpower. We’re building a team of nerds who are world-class in wildly different areas.
💡 Customers First – Tech That Follows Through Customers are basically the only reason we exist. And we don’t build tech for tech’s sake. But the best user experiences usually rely on thoughtful, powerful engineering – so we invest in both, deeply.
🛠 Default to Rethink We don’t accept “that’s just how it is.” We dig deep, think from scratch and always believe there’s a better way.
💅🏼 Give Yourself a Little Treat We use hrmony, so you can spend up to €50/month on the little things that bring you joy – Urban Sports, DAZN, Mediamarkt, Thalia, whatever suits you.
🤓 Your Learning Curve is Our Investment Everyone at NaroIQ gets €1,000 per year for courses, books, coaching, or whatever helps them grow.
