Role Overview

This is a strategic hire for our hedge fund and private credit capability. You will serve as a primary subject matter expert across hedge fund and private credit technology, operations, and administrator relationships, owning client delivery, shaping our methodology, and building the internal knowledge base that scales the practice.

• Serve as the primary delivery owner on Geneva implementations, upgrades, and integration workstreams, from discovery through go-live

• Advise clients on middle- and back-office operating model design including NAV production, shadow accounting, prime brokerage reconciliation, and investor reporting

• Evaluate and advise on technology ecosystems including order management, treasury, portfolio accounting, and data infrastructure

• Drive business development activity including proposal development, client presentations, and expansion of existing relationships

• Further establish Alpha's hedge fund and credit accounting practice infrastructure: reusable methodology, tool kits, proposal templates, and a bench of junior talent

• Collaborate with our private equity and credit practices to develop cross-platform service offerings for multi-strategy and hybrid fund structures
