Family Office Operations Officer

Our client is a Zug-based single family office, established in 2018 to manage the financial assets of one European family. The office consists of a close-knit team of four, supported by a trusted network of external advisors, working in a confidential and highly professional international environment. English is the working language.

You will not be one number among hundreds in a bank back office. As our Family Office Operations Officer, you sit at the operational heart of the firm. You will work directly with the Managing Director, the CIO and the Head of Accounting, with broad exposure across banking operations, post-trade processing, cash management, regulatory administration and audit support. The role offers depth, responsibility and the autonomy that only a small, focused setup can give you.

A rare opportunity to combine the technical rigour of banking operations with the variety and direct ownership of a family office environment.
