The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships. We committed to spend £16bn in the ten years to 2032, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health. These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won’t be solved by science alone.

The Investments Operations team is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the investment process day-to-day and for the provision and management of timely, accurate and consistent data to portfolio managers, analysts and key stakeholders alike. To achieve these goals, the team works closely with service providers, counter parties, systems vendors and key internal parties and carries out a number of critical tasks on a regular and ad hoc basis.

Additionally, the team is involved in several continuous improvement initiatives aimed at making our operating model more efficient and cost effective, to deliver value to the Trust and to therefore support the overall mission.
