Cape Town, South Africa The Catalyst Group Full time

**Hello**

The world is a mess right now. So, we’re shaking it up even more - in a good way - and specifically in the financial fund management and admin service space. Just the words “finance” and “admin” sound pre-historic. But we’re adding faster thinking, intuitive tech and a great people touch to a field that’s been a bit sluggish of late.

**Catalyst at a glance**
- What: A high-tech, people-first, data-driven, digital fund administration firm for hedge and private equity funds.

- And: We’re already a front-runner of solutions in digital assets and alternative fund products.

**The right fit**

Fast thinking, top-end tech and phenomenal always-on client service aside, our culture is pretty much everything. Our edge lies in our people.
