Investment Operations & Trading Manager (m/f/d)

Your Role & How We Work

Our Investment Operations & Trading team forms the operational backbone of 8 funds with €3 billion in Assets under Management and is responsible for all processes from launch to ongoing management of our investment products. As our Investment Operations & Trading Manager (m/f/d), you will be responsible for and manage our daily fund business, growing over time into responsibility for high-stake projects and trading for Europe's most successful asset management firm. You will report to Ulf Schad, our Director Operations & Trading, and work side-by-side with our Trading Desk and the Compliance team.

In your role, you will focus on:

• Mission Control. Be responsible for the daily operational readiness of our systems (OMS/PMS, Bloomberg, CTM). Monitor our automations, identify errors early, and work them through to resolution.

• Regulation & Precision. Monitor our recurring compliance checks and ensure regulatory requirements in cooperation with our Compliance colleagues and external partners.

• Performance & Analysis. Independently conduct performance calculations and quantitative analyses and deliver well-founded insights into the performance of our funds.

• KVG & Custodian Banks. Be responsible for communication with our Capital Management Company (KVG), custodian banks, and external partners on trade topics.

• New Fund Launches & Strategic Projects. Participate in the launch of new products, fund listings, and share classes and improve the visibility and tradability of our funds. From the first year onwards, you will take on long-term projects and process improvements.

• AI Automation. Identify new opportunities for AI and LLM-based automation and redesign recurring tasks with them.

Your Experience

• You have 2-4 years of experience in Investment Operations in liquid capital markets and are well-versed in areas such as Reconciliation and Trade Settlement.

• You have worked hands-on in the Middle Office at an Asset Manager, KVG, Bank, or Fund Service Provider and have taken responsibility for Trade Processing, Reconciliations, and Compliance Checks. Smaller, dynamic firms are a plus.

• You have worked hands-on with market and trading systems; Bloomberg and CTM experience are a strong plus.

• You have implemented initial AI/LLM use cases in your daily work: concrete workflows, not experiments.

• You have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Economics, or Finance, or a comparable qualification (e.g., Bank or Investment Fund Clerk) with sound operational experience.

• You communicate confidently in German and English.

2 Reasons Not to Apply

• You prefer a quiet, established environment. We work at a high pace, priorities change quickly, and we offer a lot of scope for design that you can actively utilize.

• You are content with where you are in your career today. We want to grow together: in ourselves and as a company.

Your Mindset

• You have a passion for stocks, financial markets, and technology.

• You are curious, driven, and ambitious and want to understand the ins and outs of the operational asset management universe.

• You are an "AI Native," use AI tools wherever they make you faster, and can articulate the difference they have made.

• You want a generalist role and actively take on responsibility beyond your job description.

• You remain precise with recurring routines, as small errors add up in operations.

What We Offer You

• Become part of a unique success story in European asset management and work with the most renowned experts in the industry.

• Real room for development: from operations excellence to projects and trading.

• Flat hierarchies and direct exchange with our management team.

• The most modern tools in asset management and an explicit mandate to automate with AI.

• Competitive compensation as well as support for relocation and visa if needed.

• A modern office in the heart of Berlin.
