Senior Relationship Manager, Fund Administration

The Opportunity

We are partnering with the fund administration business of a US-headquartered, publicly listed global investment services group.

As part of its expansion in APAC, the firm is hiring for a senior Relationship Manager position in Singapore , its regional hub, to manage and develop relationships with some of the region’s most prominent investment managers.

This is a technically driven, senior client-facing role — not a conventional sales position. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in fund administration and fund accounting, with the credibility to hold discussions with senior finance stakeholders on complex fund-related matters.

Key Responsibilities

Client Relationship Management

• Own and develop relationships with a portfolio of leading investment management clients.
• Serve as a trusted senior contact for client CFOs and finance leadership, managing complex discussions and escalations.

Technical Expertise & Service Delivery

• Leverage strong knowledge of fund administration and fund accounting to address client needs and provide technical guidance.
• Work closely with internal operations teams to resolve service issues and ensure effective delivery against client expectations.

Client Growth & Business Development

• Retain and grow existing client relationships by identifying opportunities for additional services and mandates.
• Support new-business pitches and contribute to the development of client relationships and commercial opportunities.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum 15 years of relevant experience in fund administration.
• Strong technical knowledge of fund administration, fund accounting or fund finance.
• Experience servicing tier 1 investment managers and managing senior client relationships.
• Ability to engage credibly with CFOs and senior finance stakeholders.
• Commercial acumen, with the ability to retain and grow client relationships and support new business.
• Experience with a leading fund administrator or custodian, ideally with exposure to alternative investments.
• Candidates transitioning from operations into relationship management are welcome, provided they have a proven track record of owning client relationships.
