Support client communication and servicing deliverables, including performance review materials, index event explanations and portfolio commentary.
Work closely with Investment Specialists, Sales, Product, Risk, Operations and Technology teams to support asset growth, client servicing and automation/process improvement.
Maintain high standards of conduct, controls and documentation; support internal/external audits and adhere to all applicable compliance and monitoring procedures.

Strong understanding of investment compliance, portfolio guidelines and operating within regulated frameworks; able to manage exceptions/escalations appropriately.
