Group Head of Funds – exceptional business poised for significant growth

Do you want to use your Funds career and knowledge to gain a meaningful share of a Fund/Corporate/Private Wealth business?

Are you looking for a role where you can build on an established business rather than inherit a blank sheet?

Do you want genuine influence over strategy, growth, and the future direction of a fund services platform backed by fresh capital?

Our client is a well-established Fund/Corporate/Private Wealth business who are entering an important new phase of growth. With strong foundations already in place, there is a focus on building scale within and enhancing the funds offering, whilst contributing strategically to the long-term growth of the wider group.

This is a senior leadership opportunity for an experienced fund services professional who wants genuine ownership, influence, and the ability to shape the direction of a growing business.

The Opportunity

As Head of Funds, you will take overall responsibility for the firm’s funds business, leading an established team and client base while driving the evolution of the platform. This is not a maintenance role; it is a position designed for someone who wants to build on what already exists and help define what comes next.

You will work closely with senior management and shareholders, contributing at both an operational and strategic level as the business executes its post-investment growth plans.

Key Responsibilities

• Full leadership and performance oversight of the funds business, including service delivery, people management, and profitability
• Take ownership of business growth within the fund services line, strategic hires, and client expansion
• Senior ownership of client relationships across private equity, real assets, and alternative investment structures
• Development and execution of the funds strategy aligned to group growth objectives
• Ensuring robust governance, regulatory compliance, and service quality as the platform scales
• Driving continuous improvement across systems, processes, and operating models
• Acting as a senior representative of the business with clients, intermediaries, and regulators

Candidate Profile

• Proven senior leadership experience within fund administration, fiduciary services, or a related professional services environment
• Proven ability of scaling a Fund Services business with an established network of contacts across UK/Jersey/further afield.
• Strong technical knowledge of alternative investment funds and associated regulatory frameworks
• Track record of leading teams and managing complex, high-value client relationships
• Commercial and strategic mindset, with experience contributing to growth beyond day-to-day operations
• Comfortable engaging at board, shareholder, and senior stakeholder level

Why This Role?

• A true leadership position with autonomy and influence
• The opportunity to build on an established, profitable funds business
• Backing from recent capital investment to support growth, innovation, and expansion
• Exposure to group-level strategy and long-term value creation
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where senior leaders are expected to shape the future

What we’re looking for:

• A proven leader who has a demonstrable track record of growing a Funds business in terms of revenue and headcount.
• Ideally experience in Jersey but would consider Guernsey / UK or Luxembourg
• An exceptional network of contacts
• The ability to motivate and lead a team of bright professionals
