Role Overview

This is a senior individual contributor and people-management role responsible for the end-to-end delivery of net asset value calculations and fund valuations across ZFS’s administered structures. The successful candidate will take day-to-day ownership of the valuations function and work closely with senior leadership to build the capability and infrastructure required to support a Head of Valuations appointment — which this role is explicitly designed to develop into.

Key Responsibilities

Valuations & Technical Delivery

• Lead and oversee all stages of net asset value calculations across a diverse range of fund structures, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness
• Prepare, review, and maintain core financial records including general ledgers, trial balances, and supporting schedules
• Interpret and apply fund documentation — including prospectuses, limited partnership agreements, and subscription documents — and assess the impact of legal and regulatory obligations on NAV calculations
• Review and approve bespoke financial reports for clients, managing deliverable quality and deadlines in accordance with service level agreements
• Oversee reconciliation processes, fee calculations, and accruals, implementing controls to minimise errors and exceptions
• Drive automation and process improvement initiatives within the valuations function, identifying efficiencies in workflows and reporting

Team Leadership & Development

• Manage a team of eight valuations professionals spread across two jurisdictions, providing day-to-day direction, workload allocation, and performance oversight
• Act as the primary escalation point for technical queries, complex fund structures, and client issues arising within the team
• Coach, mentor, and develop team members, supporting their professional growth and examination studies
• Contribute to the recruitment, onboarding, and retention of valuations talent as the business continues to grow
• Collaborate with the Head of Operations to evolve the team structure and build capacity ahead of the Head of Valuations transition

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Act as a senior point of contact for a portfolio of clients, building trusted, long-term relationships through consistent delivery and proactive communication
• Manage day-to-day and ad-hoc client requests, exercising sound commercial judgement in prioritisation and response
• Liaise effectively with external parties including auditors, legal counsel, regulatory bodies, and third-party administrators
• Represent ZFS professionally in all client-facing and external interactions, contributing to the firms reputation for quality and reliability

Desired Qualifications & Experience

• A minimum of 8 years’ experience in fund administration, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or management role within a valuations team
• Hands-on experience with a broad range of fund structures: fund of funds, private equity, venture capital, equity, and debt
• Proven experience using fund administration systems — experience with Paxus is essential
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, in particular Excel
• A relevant professional qualification is preferred; candidates working towards qualification will also be considered
• Familiarity with Guernsey regulatory frameworks and relevant international fund regulations

Personal Attributes

• Exceptional attention to detail, with a track record of delivering accurate, high-quality work under time pressure
• Strong leadership presence — able to motivate, develop, and hold accountable a multi-jurisdictional team
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the confidence to engage at director and C-suite level
• Commercially aware, with the ability to build and maintain trusted client relationships
• Self-motivated, highly organised, and capable of managing competing priorities across multiple funds and client engagements
• A collaborative team player who fosters a positive, inclusive, and high-performance culture
• Genuine enthusiasm for the Guernsey fund industry and a commitment to staying current with regulatory and market developments
• Ambition and readiness to step up: a desire to take on increasing responsibility and grow into a Head of Valuations position

Why Zeta Fund Services?

ZFS is a young, ambitious business with a clear growth trajectory and a culture that genuinely invests in its people. You will join a close-knit team where your contribution is visible and your development is actively supported. For the right candidate, this role represents a rare opportunity to shape a growing valuations function and earn a place at the senior leadership table.
