Job Details

Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets has an opportunity for an experienced candidate to join the team in our London office, on a 6 months fixed-term contract.

You will work within the Fund Management team as a Finance Analyst, where you will be a key member of a global team responsible for identifying and implementing transformation initiatives for the Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Fund Management team.

Your responsibilities will require you to:

  • drive global improvement initiatives under the guidance of the global Fund Management transformation team leader
  • work with regional Fund Management subject matter experts to update process maps and task flows, and identify areas of opportunity for automation, re-design and global alignment
  • identify / understand inventory of bespoke and manual reporting with a view to finding an automated solution
  • work with Digital and Platform team and Technology team to identify opportunities to systematize existing Fund Management processes
  • partner with Digital and Platform team and Technology team to communicate roll-out of new platforms and processes
  • project manage transformation initiatives for the Fund Management team, including ongoing tracking and status reports; identification of risks and issues; leading or escalating issue resolution
  • drive operating model changes to bring consistency to global Fund Management service offering across regions.

Dependent upon business requirements, you may also work directly with Fund Management teams based in London and Gurugram to support activities including:

  • oversight of external service providers, including reviewing financial statements, tax calculations, fee calculations and reconciliations
  • coordination and preparation of financial statements (including variance analysis and commentary) and other reporting obligations for funds and their subsidiaries, including, where required, liaising with internal specialist teams, external service providers, auditors and other commercial counterparties
  • coordination of responses to ad hoc investor requests
  • treasury management, budgeting and forecasting for funds, including managing investor drawdown and distributions
  • assisting on transaction advisory and execution work-streams through asset acquisition, ownership and divestment lifecycles.

Prior experience in a similar type of role - for example, experience in business transformation or working in finance or operations functions for private equity funds would be advantageous, although not essential.

You will be a lateral thinker, a confident communicator, highly motivated, proactive, organised and resilient individual. You will demonstrate sound business judgement and possess strong interpersonal skills which will give you the ability to liaise and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels.

Finally, you will be degree-educated with a formal accounting qualification.

Working at Macquarie

We believe in providing a positive environment for all our staff that is innovative and inspiring. For our female staff, Macquarie’s senior leaders are actively involved in increasing the representation of females in management positions.  In June 2014, we launched a mentoring programme for females, with the following two objectives:

  • Address female retention rates at Senior Manager level and improve our diverse pipeline of talent;
  • Engage female Senior Managers by providing tools and support around their personal development;

The programme pairs up Senior Managers with Directors, who meet on a monthly basis, and are supported by active group sessions (bi-monthly) with an external facilitator.

We select some of the brightest minds to help us in solving complex challenges for our clients.  We recognise that recruiting talent from varied backgrounds is essential to improving our understanding of the marketplace, and enhancing creativity and problem-solving capabilities in our businesses.

Because of this, our commitment to you is to create a diverse and inclusive workplace regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or cultural background.

We make this commitment not only because it is the right thing to do but it opens up a world of opportunity, securing the future of our people, our success and our business
