About us:
BlackFin Capital Partners is seeking a Head of IT Governance, Compliance & Security (all genders) to join the team at a new portfolio company in Germany.
The company in question is one of the leading asset management firms in Germany and offers institutional investors solutions for structuring diversified investment portfolios. The company currently manages assets under administration totalling over €400 billion.
To strengthen our team, we are looking for colleagues who will work with us to build and further develop the company.
BlackFin Capital Partners is an investor specialising in Europe, focusing on investments in financial services companies with growth potential. BlackFin established a branch in Frankfurt in 2018 and has been actively investing in the DACH region since 2013. The company currently manages a fund volume of over €4 billion and invests capital from its two most recently launched funds: the BlackFin Financial Services Fund IV with a volume of €1.8 billion and the BlackFin Tech 2 with a volume of €390 million.
About the company's IT:
As with all financial firms, IT is of paramount importance to our company. The company's products and services are supported by around 60 specialised IT application systems. These are mostly standard software, such as Simcorp Dimension as the central fund accounting system, supplemented by a number of in-house developed systems as well as systems for corporate functions such as financial accounting, HR, compliance and non-financial risk management.
Whilst the systems for the core business are mostly operated on-premises in two data centres belonging to a European IT infrastructure service provider, cloud-based SaaS solutions are increasingly being used for corporate functions.
Naturally, all employees are equipped with the relevant IT workplace functions, which are expected to be procured and operated via an IT service provider.
The company's IT is subject to strict financial supervision; the European DORA Regulation has been in force since 2025. This sets out comprehensive requirements for the relevant IT processes, in particular for IT operations and IT infrastructure.
