Fund Finance Manager – Luxembourg or Switzerland

Fund Finance Manager – Luxembourg or Switzerland

Our Client is a growing private markets investment platform focused on Private Equity and Infrastructure, headquartered in Switzerland with two Luxembourg-domiciled alternative funds.

As the platform scales across multiple jurisdictions, the Company is seeking a hands-on Fund Finance Manager (first in-house finance person) to take ownership of financial accounting, reporting and controls across its funds and corporate entities, and to help build a modern, technology-enabled finance function.

This could be a fully flexible role, with the option of 100% remote work, provided the selected candidate’s permanent residence is based in Luxembourg or Switzerland

Your areas of responsibility:

• Take ownership of financial accounting and reporting for the Company's Private Equity and Infrastructure funds
• Review NAV calculations and underlying accounting prepared by external administrators, and take internal responsibility for their accuracy
• Manage and coordinate relationships with administrators, auditors, depositaries, banks, tax advisers and other service providers
• Lead annual and interim financial statement processes, fund-level cash management, reconciliations and fee calculations
• Oversee accounting for investment SPVs and holding structures
• Support accounting and reporting across corporate entities in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, as well as Cayman and Delaware structures
• Establish consistent accounting policies, controls, data standards and reporting processes across the platform
• Drive the automation and integration of fund finance workflows, reducing manual processes
• Provide fund-level and corporate financial analysis to management and act as the internal point of expertise for fund finance

Your profile:

• 5 to 7 years of relevant experience in private markets fund finance (Private Equity, Infrastructure, Private Debt or Real Assets) at Senior Associate / AVP level, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate; strong Managers or selected VPs may also be considered
• Current or recent hands-on experience within a GP / alternative investment manager (audit, advisory or administrator-only backgrounds will not be sufficient)
• Big Four or BDO training in Asset Management / Private Markets, followed by an in-house move to a GP, is preferred
• Strong knowledge of IFRS and Luxembourg GAAP, with solid understanding of private fund accounting (NAV review, capital calls, distributions, fees, valuations, reconciliations); US GAAP and evergreen fund experience are a significant advantage
• Familiarity with Luxembourg structures such as RAIF, SCSp and SICAV
• Excellent Excel skills and a strong understanding of finance systems, data flows and controls
• Practical experience using AI and automation in finance (e.g. reconciliations, data extraction, reporting, control checks); Power BI, Alteryx, UiPath, Make, Zapier or Python/SQL is advantageous
• Independent, accountable and pragmatic, with the confidence to challenge external providers
• Strong project management skills and a process-builder mindset, with comfort working in an entrepreneurial environment
