Drawing on deep knowledge of the delivery, management and underlying business use cases of client and AUM & Flow data - with a particular focus on US wealth and retail distribution - you will guide implementation projects across new and existing US clients and collaborate with our Sales, Product and Services teams, many of whom are based outside the US, to ensure that our solutions reflect the nuances of the local market and meet client needs across enterprise-wide use cases. As an early hire into the US team, you should expect to flex across more than project delivery: contributing to pre-sales conversations, feeding the US perspective into product direction, and acting as a trusted SME for clients and internal teams alike. The right person will treat this breadth as an opportunity to help shape our US team and capability. Core Responsibilities Subject Matter Expertise & Implementation Support Receive and execute on work packages for client implementation alongside an Aiviq Project Manager. Understand the client data sources at a business and technical level and work with Aiviq and client teams to define and deliver scalable solutions that meet our client's requirements Work with the Project Manager to define effective delivery approaches and suitable acceptance criteria. Contribute innovative ideas to advance the Professional Services offering Create high-quality business or technical documentation for client specific implementation work. Develop deep product knowledge and work with the Aiviq Product team to implement new features as well as managing and triaging client feedback on product features.

Translate client requirements across Distribution, Finance, Compliance and Client Reporting use cases into clear, actionable implementation specifications. Lead client-side workshops and working sessions to drive decisions, align stakeholders across business and technology functions, and secure sign-off on scope, design and acceptance criteria - acting as a consultative voice rather than purely an order-taker. Your Qualifications Required Experience 5+ years' experience working with US asset manager data, with deep subject matter expertise in AUM and flow data and client economic (revenue/fee) data - with a clear primary focus on wealth and retail distribution (RIAs, wirehouses, broker-dealers and intermediary platforms); institutional experience is a plus rather than a requirement. Broad coverage across investment vehicles common to US wealth distribution - ETFs, SMAs/UMAs, Model Portfolios, Mutual Funds and Alternatives - including how each is sold, reported and reconciled. Strong working knowledge of client master / MDM concepts as applied to US distribution data: firm and office hierarchies, rep and household structures, survivorship and match/merge rules, and the lineage from raw third-party feeds through to a reportable book of record. Hands-on experience with SalesConnect, Broadridge or equivalent industry data sets is highly valued. Working knowledge of US sales coverage and territory assignment data - channel and territory definitions, coverage models, splits and credit assignment - and how these feed downstream CBOR, compensation and reporting use cases. Strong data literacy and hands-on analytical skills - this is a data-literate analyst / SME profile rather than a software engineering role. You should be confident interrogating, mapping and validating data using SQL and Excel against large, messy industry datasets; deeper coding or engineering experience is a plus, not a requirement. Ability to grasp new business data domains quickly Demonstrated working knowledge of use cases across functions such as Distribution, Finance, Compliance and Client Reporting within US asset management Familiarity with US asset management market structure, distribution channels, and regulatory and reporting standards Credibility a
