Role Overview:
InCred EM Multi-Strategy Credit Fund (IEMMSCF) is an emerging market credit hedge fund with a strong Asian bias, managed by InCred Global Wealth Pte. Ltd. — a MAS-licensed entity based in Singapore. The fund invests in performing debt obligations of EM and Asian borrowers, trading a broad set of instruments spanning investment grade and high yield bonds, CDS, TRS, interest rate derivatives, credit ETFs, futures, and performing private credit loans, working with a prime broker and 20+ trading counterparties across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. The fund is targeting a launch in July/August 2026.
We are seeking an experienced and meticulous Operations & Settlement professional to own the entire Middle Office and Back Office function of the fund. This is a Mumbai-based role supporting Singapore-headquartered Portfolio Manager and COO. You will be the operational backbone of the fund — responsible for ensuring every trade is confirmed, every position is reconciled, and every process is documented and continuously improved.
This is not a process-following role. It is a process-building role. The fund is in its build phase and you will be expected to design, implement, and constantly enhance the operational infrastructure of a fast-growing credit hedge fund from day one. Zero operational failures and zero audit findings are the standard — not the aspiration.
Job Description:
1. Trade Confirmation & Settlement
• Own the end-to-end trade lifecycle for all instruments: cash bonds, CDS, TRS, interest rate futures and swaps, options, credit ETFs, futures, and private credit loans
• Confirm all trades with counterparties via Bloomberg, MarketAxess, TradeWeb, and bilateral channels on trade date; resolve any mismatches within defined SLAs
• Monitor settlement status across DTC, Euroclear, and Clearstream; proactively escalate and resolve failed settlements
• Liaise with the prime broker, custodians, and trading counterparties on settlement queries, corporate actions, and financing events
• Maintain a complete, auditable trade blotter for every executed transaction
2. Reconciliation — Positions, Cash & NAV
• Perform daily reconciliation of positions and cash balances against prime broker reports, custodian statements, and fund administrator records
• Reconcile internal books against confirms and statements from all 20+ trading counterparties
• Investigate and resolve all breaks within 24 hours; maintain a live break log with root-cause analysis and resolution status
• Conduct month-end reconciliation and sign-off with the fund administrator to support NAV computation
• Coordinate with the fund administrator on accruals, management and performance fee calculations, and investor-level allocations across Share Classes A, B, and C
3. Middle Office — Risk & Exposure Support
• Maintain real-time position data in TS Imagine, the funds Portfolio and Risk Management System (PARMS); ensure it reflects confirmed and settled positions at all times
• Support the Portfolio Manager with P&L attribution, exposure reporting, and risk metric monitoring —including DV01, CR01, single-name and single-issuer limits, and NAV caps on private credit and non-core geographies
• Monitor all risk framework limits and flag any breach immediately to the Portfolio Manager
• Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly MIS reports for the Portfolio Manager and COO
• Support margin and collateral management for CDS, TRS, and repo financing
4. Private Credit Operations
• Manage the operational workflow for private credit transactions: loan drawdowns, interest payment tracking, principal repayments, and covenant monitoring
• Coordinate documentation flow — term sheets, facility agreements, and side letters — with legal
counsel and counterparties
• Ensure private credit positions are accurately reflected in fund NAV and administrator records at all times.
• Monitor private credit concentration against the NAV cap
5. Financing & Collateral Management
• Manage the prime broker financing relationship: repo lines, margin calls, stock borrow for short
positions, and rehypothecation tracking
• Ensure all repo and financing trades are confirmed, rolled, and terminated accurately and on time
• Monitor daily margin requirements and communicate margin events to the Portfolio Manager
proactively
6. Process Design & Continuous Improvement
• Design and document all operational procedures from the ground up — this is a build-phase role and no playbook yet exists
• Proactively identify process gaps and implement improvements before they become failures
• Own the build-out and ongoing administration of TS Imagine as the fund's PARMS — including position feeds, risk limit monitoring, and reconciliation workflows
• Develop exception management workflows, control checklists, and escalation procedures that scale with AUM growth
• Author and maintain the fund's Operations Manual — a living document covering every workflow, system, counterparty procedure, and control; review and update it at least quarterly and after any material change in process, system, or counterparty
7. Compliance & Audit Readiness
• Maintain all records in a manner that is always audit-ready — without exception
• Act as the primary operations contact for internal and external auditors; support all audit processes end-to-end
• Maintain KYC/AML documentation for all trading counterparties and coordinate periodic renewals
• Assist with regulatory reporting obligations applicable to a MAS-regulated fund management entity
• Ensure adherence to all fund terms: lock-up periods (36/24/nil months by share class), redemption notice requirements, and AUM cap mechanics for Class A
Requirements:
Experience & Skills
• 5–10 years in operations, settlements, or middle office at a hedge fund, asset manager, or fixed income prime brokerage
• Deep understanding of the full trade lifecycle for fixed income instruments: corporate bonds, CDS, interest rate derivatives, repos, and structured credit
• Hands-on experience reconciling positions and cash against prime broker and fund administrator
reports daily
• Proficiency with TS Imagine (the fund's PARMS) or demonstrated experience with comparable institutional portfolio and risk management systems; ability to get up to speed on TS Imagine quickly if not already familiar
• Working knowledge of settlement mechanics across Euroclear, DTC, and Clearstream
• Familiarity with ISDA/CSA documentation, variation margin, and collateral management
• Experience with Bloomberg and MarketAxess for trade matching and confirmation
• Prior exposure to private credit operations: loan administration, drawdown tracking, covenant
monitoring
