Director of Client Execution (Hiring Immediately)

Role purpose

The Director of Client Execution owns how FundApps delivers for clients across Monitoring, Reporting and Surveillance , leading the Implementation, PMO and Client Experience & Support teams.

The role is responsible for building and scaling a consistent client delivery model across the business: improving client onboarding, managing complex delivery, and optimising support operations once clients are live.

A key part of the role is connecting Client Execution with Regulatory Product Specialists, Customer Success and Engineering, creating clear ownership, strong operating rhythms and a delivery model that scales with the business.

The role works in close partnership with Client Success and Account Management, with clear ownership across the client lifecycle:

• Client Execution owns implementation, delivery governance and support operations;
• Client Success owns ongoing relationship health, adoption and value realisation;
• Account Management owns renewals and commercial growth.

• Identify where standardisation and automation can improve Client Experience and enable more efficient scaling

Operational excellence

• Own the delivery process from commercial handover through implementation and transition to BAU support, ensuring clear ownership, predictable delivery and effective handoffs.
• Ensure commercial commitments are translated into clear, realistic delivery plans, with appropriate challenges around scope, timelines and dependencies.
• Improve the consistency and scalability of onboarding across products and client segments.
• Ensure complex client programmes have appropriate governance and escalation.
• Build a support model that combines strong expertise with effective triage, knowledge management, automation and self-service.

• Build strong partnerships with Regulatory, CSMs, Product and Engineering leaders.
• Drive clarity where Client Execution depends on multiple functions, resolving gaps in ownership and competing priorities.

• Strong understanding of enterprise implementation and support in a complex technical environment.
