The Client

bunch is a rapidly growing fund management company based in Berlin. Their platform makes it easy to set up, manage, and scale investment funds, offering fund managers a modern, product-oriented solution in a traditionally complex environment.

The Challenge

As a young company with limited brand awareness, bunch faced an urgent challenge: finding and attracting the right operations specialists quickly. The existing team was already at capacity as demand and workload increased significantly faster than the hiring pipeline.

Fund operations experts are rare, and the competition for these talents is fierce. To maintain high standards and continue providing an outstanding customer experience, bunch needed to swiftly strengthen its operations team with professionals who not only possessed specialized expertise but could also succeed in a dynamic, rapidly scaling environment.

Our Approach

bunch came to us through a recommendation. It was clear from the outset that they appreciated a fast and focused recruitment process.

We leveraged our fintech-specific network and analysed what makes competitors successful. Most importantly, we developed a clear and compelling narrative on why bunch is a unique employer:

• A product-oriented environment solving real industry problems

• A young and dynamic culture with a lot of responsibility

• Genuine growth potential for ambitious professionals

This allowed us to reach candidates who brought both the required skills and the cultural fit that bunch was seeking.

The Results

In just four months, we helped bunch strengthen its operations team with the following positions:

• 1 Fund Operations Manager (London)

• 2 Fund Accountants (London)

• 1 Fund Compliance Manager (Berlin)

• 1 Onboarding Manager (Berlin)

These new hires gave bunch the capability to:

• Launch funds faster

• Reduce operational risks

• Expand customer care

• Return normal working hours to the existing team

Overall, we filled five out of seven critical open roles, with the remaining filled through incoming applications.
