Head of Operations

The Company is seeking a Regional Head of Operations to lead a broad operations portfolio and ensure reliable service delivery while strengthening controls, developing teams, and supporting changing business needs. Responsibilities include overseeing middle-office and processing activities across settlements, corporate actions, derivatives, funds, fees, and reference data. The role serves as a senior escalation point for complex operational matters and leads regional onshore and offshore delivery. The successful candidate will manage governance, incidents, audit findings, and control gaps, while driving process improvement and automation without disrupting day-to-day operations. They will also develop leadership capability, talent, and succession plans. Candidates should have at least 15 years of relevant experience, including senior leadership across multiple operational functions, and substantial private banking or wealth management operations experience. A broad understanding of the end-to-end transaction lifecycle and products such as equities, fixed income, derivatives, and investment funds is required. Proven experience leading regional operations and onshore/offshore teams is essential, along with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders and make difficult decisions. A hands-on leadership style and experience supporting business growth, new products, and evolving client requirements are important; familiarity with financial operations systems is an advantage.
