    Schroders Horsham, United Kingdom

    Default job background
    Description

    Who we're looking for
    We are looking for a highly experienced individual to join our Investment Services Platform Team (ISPT) and take responsibility to manage the day to day support and service management of our core investment platform, Aladdin by BlackRock Solutions (BRS), globally.

    Working in a fast paced environment, you will be responsible for overseeing all Aladdin related enquiries and service requests raised from Investment and Operations business stakeholders. You will work right across the organisation and very closely with BRS to ensure issues are escalated and resolved, and ongoing problems are managed. You will be able to remain calm while under pressure and balance multiple priorities at once.

    About Schroders
    We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.

    We have around 4,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

    The base
    You'll be based at our Schroders Campus near Horsham in West Sussex. It's home to our EMEA Operations and Technology Operations hub.

    It has the same high standards and international reputation as our HQ in the City of London, without being in the city: a big, countryside campus (and no commute on the Tube) means life will feel a little different.

The team provides support to the Investment, Dealing and Operations functions in Schroders Asset Management Business and works with teams across Schroders to implement change initiated from the three functions.
