Investment Operations Manager
Global Insurance Group | IFSC, Dublin | Hybrid (Tue–Thu office)
Reporting to the EMEA CFO
Are you a senior Investment Operations professional who still enjoys being close to the details?
Do you want genuine breadth across asset classes, global markets and senior stakeholder exposure — without sacrificing work-life balance?
This is a rare opportunity to step into a hands-on, high-trust role within a globally recognised insurance group, based in the IFSC and working directly with the EMEA CFO.
The Role
You’ll be the operational engine behind a global fixed income portfolio, partnering closely with an asset management team in the US and overseeing day-to-day investment operations across multiple markets and asset classes
This is not a siloed, back-office processing role.
It’s a broad, end-to-end position where you’ll:
-
Own cash and position reconciliations (daily & monthly)
-
Oversee trade confirmation & settlement across global markets
-
Manage corporate actions, proxy voting, securities & cash transfers
-
Support performance reporting & management reporting
-
Set up custodian/trust accounts and manage SWIFT connectivity
-
Monitor collateral, counterparty exposure & off-balance sheet positions
-
Support audit and drive operational improvements
You’ll work with a small global team while remaining actively involved in the detail — ideal for someone who enjoys leading but doesn’t want to drift too far from the technical side.
What Makes This Role Different
🌍 True Global Scope
You’ll operate across Western Europe, North America, Asia and Emerging Markets, gaining exposure that many Dublin-based roles simply don’t offer.
📊 Exceptional Asset Class Breadth
From Government Bonds, MBS and Investment Grade Credit through to High Yield, Loans, ABS, Equities, Futures & Options, FX, LP investments and Private Equity — this is a portfolio that keeps you sharp.
