- Partner with Product, Actuarial, Distribution, Finance, Risk and other stakeholders to support insurance product development and strategic business initiatives, helping to translate commercial requirements into appropriate investment objectives and providing investment-related product training and communication to relevant stakeholders.
- Develop and evaluate investment solutions for new and existing insurance products, considering asset allocation, expected returns, asset sourcing, liquidity, capital, accounting, risk, hedging and other operational considerations to support product competitiveness and sustainable business growth.
- Support product-related investment workstreams from development through implementation and ongoing operation, coordinating with internal teams, AIAIM, Group Investment and external service providers to establish the necessary investment mandates, processes, controls and reporting and to resolve implementation and post-launch operational matters.
