    We are seeking a Senior Vice President to lead end‑to‑end fund accounting for German Special Funds (Chapter 3 InvStG) and institutional Chapter 2 funds in scope. You will be accountable for NAV production and the associated operating model, controls and regulatory obligations. You will orchestrate complex dependencies with the client and the client`s value chain, depositaries/custodians, external managers and auditors to deliver a controlled migration and resilient BAU service. This role is located in Frankfurt, Germany.

    • Own the full NAV production cycle for Special Funds, including daily reconciliations, exception management, depositary engagement, and materiality‑based escalations.
    • Significant client‑facing responsibilities, with frequent interaction across various client stakeholders.
    • Manage expense budgets and accruals; book and control depositary, custody, and other fund‑related fees.
    • Coordinate and process all subscription/redemption activities for German institutional funds, including validation of investor register pre‑advice, trade and value dates; post shareholder transactions in the accounting system and distribute confirmed postings to stakeholders. 
    • Calculate applicable tax amounts (with PwC where required) and manage timing dependencies related to tax workflows.
    • Oversee global certificate creation with custody teams and ensure timely transmission to Clearstream Banking (CBF).
    • Coordinate system connectivity and data transmission channels for third‑party asset managers.
    • Ensure timely, accurate, and complete booking of all transactions received; promote automation and reduce manual channels (e.g., BVI sheets, email).
    • Monitor transmission quality and escalate any issues impacting completeness or timeliness.
    • Run a robust incident management process, including error classification, stakeholder notification, remediation, and documentation of root cause and durable fixes.
    • Operate and oversee CSDR gross/net models in line with mandate requirements.

    To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

    • 12+ years in German institutional fund accounting with deep Special Funds and investor‑tax expertise under InvStG; proven experience leading migrations.
    • Fluency in German and English.
    • Adept with system integrations.
    • Strong control orientation across NAV; audit and regulator facing experience; Big 4 background/qualifications preferred.
    • Stakeholder leadership across depositaries, custodians, external managers and auditors; excellent communication and problem‑solving skills.
    • Experience managing and influencing key internal senior stakeholders.
    • Direct client management experience
