Job Description:

Every day, we strive to improve financial security for people around the world. Joining our U.S. Fund Administration team means becoming part of a collaborative, mission-driven group that values purpose and precision.

As an Analyst, you will play a hybrid role across fund compliance and fund valuation, supporting the oversight of U.S.-based funds. Your work will help ensure regulatory compliance (SEC, IRS, ERISA, CFTC, and Washington State Banking regulations) and accurate valuation across a range of fund structures, including 1940 Act mutual funds, ETFs, collective investment trusts, and LLC partnerships.

We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. While experience in the financial services industry is a plus, it's not required. If you're a curious, collaborative, and driven individual who's eager to learn, we encourage you to apply.

Your Core Responsibilities:

Fund Compliance:

• Administer and monitor compliance testing programs and ensure timely, accurate reporting to CCOs and regulatory bodies.
• Support the preparation and submission of regulatory filings (e.g., Form 13F, TIC-S, Form PF, CPO-PQR).
• Research new regulations, assess impacts, and support implementation and testing.
• Ensure compliance systems and testing processes function with data integrity.
• Evaluate internal controls, policies, and procedures for accuracy and alignment with regulatory standards.
• Analyze complex compliance issues and escalate or resolve as needed.

Fund Valuation:

• Oversee daily pricing and valuation of fund holdings; participate in pricing and fair valuation decisions.
• Contribute to valuation oversight meetings and prepare minutes for regulatory documentation.
• Liaise regularly with custodians, fund managers, and pricing vendors.
• Support year-end financial and regulatory reporting cycles.
• Understand and apply valuation practices to complex instruments (e.g., swaps, futures, options).
• Review and improve valuation policies and procedures to ensure operational consistency.

Your Expertise:

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, or related field required; CPA or advanced degree preferred.
• Up to 2 years of relevant experience in the investment or fund administration industry.
• Familiarity with SEC regulations, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and securities operations.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and deliver results under tight deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; capable of representing the team with internal and external stakeholders.
• Advanced Excel skills; proficiency in other financial systems or automation tools is a plus.
• Willingness to work extended hours as needed during critical reporting periods.
• A team-first mindset and openness to learning and continuous improvement.
