Income Analyst; Interim

Our client is a long-established, global provider of investment technology and outsourced operations to wealth managers, asset managers and financial institutions and are looking to hire an Income Analyst on a short-term contract.

You’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of income events across a broad book of funds and traditional assets. That means researching what’s coming, interpreting the terms, getting the right people notified, and processing it accurately against tight deadlines.

• Research, interpret and process income events, including dividends, interest, coupons and fund distributions, across mutual funds, equities and fixed income
• Monitor and reconcile income entitlements, and investigate and resolve breaks quickly
• Make sure clients and internal teams know about upcoming events in good time
• Keep procedures and controls up to date and followed, so that audits are clean and operational risk stays low
• Work with custodians, fund managers, data vendors and internal operations teams to chase down discrepancies
• Spot process gaps and suggest improvements, including automation where it makes sense

• Experience in income processing, corporate actions or asset servicing within a fund administrator, custodian, platform or investment manager
• A solid understanding of the income event lifecycle and its impact downstream, on cash, positions and client reporting
• Strong reconciliation skills and real attention to detail
• Comfort working to time-critical daily deadlines and juggling several priorities at once
• Clear communication, with confidence picking up the phone to a custodian or explaining an issue to a client team
• Exposure to SWIFT messaging or a major data vendor such as Bloomberg or Refinitiv (desirable)
