WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT FOR US

• Understanding the characteristics of different asset types within private markets such as private equity, private debt, hedge funds and real estate, but also investments in different structures such as direct holdings, fund structures or FoF
• Experience with SimCorp Dimension® and the Alternative Investments Manager
• Client-oriented with a can-do and collaborative as well as knowledge sharing mindset and with the ability to communicate throughout the entire value chain
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
