Are you an enthusiastic and ambitious young professional interested in international finance? Do you want to learn all about the operational processes related to investing in Private Equity in developing countries? Apply for this role in the Operations Private Equity team and support FMO's mission.

Your role

As an Operations Officer Private Equity, you are responsible for the accurate and timely administration of FMO’s equity investments. This includes translating private equity contracts into the administrative systems, managing all payments relating to the investments and ensuring the administration remains up to date during the lifetime of all investments, including their exit.

The Private Equity portfolio consists of investments of around EUR 2.5 billion globally. All these investments are managed centrally from FMO’s office in The Hague. FMO invests to make impact in developing markets which means that contracts are complex and non-standard. This translates to a need for punctual, risk-aware, critical people to deal with the administration of these transactions. In this role, you will support the multi-disciplinary investment teams offering operational advice and provide the linkage between private equity, finance, and treasury departments.

Our offer

Gross yearly salary between EUR 45-50K (including holiday allowance) depending on your experience.
Pension scheme, partly paid by FMO.
31 holidays
Working remotely abroad for 60 days in a rolling period of 12 months
Hybrid way of working (50/50)
