Head of Digital

Job Description

Title -Head - Digital Transformation & AI

We are looking for someone to replace them.

As Head of Digital Transformation & AI, you will redefine how work gets done across the organisation — across fund administration, AIFM, capital markets, Risk, and Compliance and all support functions including Finance, Internal Operations.

You will design and build an operating model where:

• manual work is the exception, not the norm
• AI is embedded into daily workflows
• decisions are data-driven and real-time
• systems are integrated, not fragmented
• there is one integrated client/ intermediary platform to access all services

This is a build-and-transform role, not a maintenance role.

If you join, your mandate is simple: Rebuild how the company works — using AI, automation, and first-principles thinking.

What You Will Actually Do

• Break down existing workflows and rebuild them from scratch
• Eliminate unnecessary steps, approvals, and manual interventions
• Move the business to exception-based operations

• Embed AI into every function — not as a tool, but as a default workflow layer
• Define how teams use AI to analyse, validate, draft, monitor
• Build human + AI systems, not just automation

• Design a unified automation + AI ecosystem across the firm
• Replace fragmented tools with a connected platform
• Treat internal workflows like products, not processes

• NAV production with minimal manual intervention
• Fully automated reconciliations and exception handling
• Real-time reporting across funds, investors, and management
• Risk & Compliance → automated monitoring and alerts

• Finance → real-time, automated, data-driven
• Internal Operations → AI-enabled work flow management

• Build a unified data layer across the organisation
• Enable real-time decision-making
• Remove dependency on fragmented spreadsheets and reporting

• If people aren't using it, it doesn't exist
• Change behaviour across teams and leadership
• Make AI and automation the default way of working

• Manual work becomes the exception, not the rule
• AI is used daily across all functions
• Fully integrated client/ intermediary platform
• NAV and reporting cycles are faster and cleaner
• The business scales without proportional headcount growth
• The organisation operates as a system, not a collection of processes

• You think in systems, not tasks
• You challenge everything that exists today
• You build, not just advise
• You move fast and iterate
• You care about outcomes, not tools

• You want to improve existing processes
• You need fully defined requirements before acting
• You see yourself as IT or support

• You want to build something from scratch
• You've always thought: Why is this done this way
• You want to redefine how a financial services firm operates

The candidates can apply from any region, we are flexible on location.
