The Individual

Proven track record in fund launches, business growth, and relationship management.

Entrepreneurial, commercially minded leader with a strong presence in the Irish funds industry.
Why This Role?
High-Growth Platform - Significant expansion in the next 24 months with multiple new fund launches.
Impact & Influence - Direct involvement in strategy, growth, and client relationships.
Entrepreneurial Stage - Join at the J-curve moment where your leadership will shape the next chapter.
