The posting

Job Description

At AJ Bell, we believe investing should feel good. Behind that is a strong Investment Operations team making sure our investment products run smoothly, controls work as they should and issues are identified and resolved quickly.

As an Investment Operations Analyst, you’ll play an important part in keeping our funds and Managed Portfolio Services operating effectively. You’ll combine investment operations with risk, controls and third-party oversight, helping us deliver reliable investment services that give customers and advisers confidence in AJ Bell.

What you'll do

  • Carry out key operational and oversight controls across our investment products, identifying exceptions and escalating issues where needed.
  • Help manage operational risks, incidents and potential breaches, supporting investigations and seeing actions through to resolution.
  • Turn operational and investment data into clear management information, highlighting trends, exceptions and emerging risks.
  • Support oversight of third-party service providers and delegates, including service reviews, due diligence and follow-up actions.
  • Help keep our funds and Managed Portfolio Services running effectively through operational checks, reporting, data and wider middle-office activity.
  • Support the onboarding of new partners and platforms, alongside product, regulatory and operational change.
  • Look for practical ways to improve processes and controls, helping make Investment Operations more efficient, consistent and resilient.

What you'll bring

  • Experience in investment operations, or a comparable role within regulated financial services.
  • A good understanding of operational risk and controls, including identifying issues, escalating concerns and supporting remediation.
  • Knowledge of funds, model portfolios and the operational processes that support investment products.
  • A relevant Level 4 qualification, such as the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) or Investment Operations Certificate (IOC). This is an essential requirement for the role.
  • Strong analytical and numerical skills, with good attention to detail and confidence working with investment and operational data.
  • The ability to interpret management information, spot exceptions and recognise trends that may need further attention.
  • A proactive approach, with the confidence to take ownership, follow actions through and communicate clearly with different stakeholders.
  • Experience of third-party oversight, due diligence, MPS onboarding or middle-office activities would be useful, but isn’t essential.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
