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.
- Who: Experienced alternative investment professionals taking fund services to a new level.
- How: A combination of relationship management, best-of-breed technology, integration, digitization and always-on automation.
- 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. So, when you meet us, you will either feel like you’ve found the home you never knew you were missing, or we rub you up the wrong way. It’s critical that we click.
