About your team
The Global Platform Solutions Investment Solutions Team is responsible for the research, design, development and ongoing management of investment solutions used by our retail and institutional clients.

About your role
We are looking for a proactive and commercially minded Manager to support the strategic development and ongoing management of our investment proposition.

You will act as a bridge between investment, distribution, client, platform and operational teams, helping to turn investment expertise, market insight and client needs into clear proposition priorities and practical actions. You will support the development, enhancement and launch of investment products and solutions, using competitor analysis, client feedback, regulatory insight and product data to identify opportunities, shape product positioning and keep our offering aligned to business priorities.
The right candidate will bring structure to complex topics, communicate investment concepts clearly and confidently, and help drive initiatives forward in a changing environment. You will be curious, adaptable and keen to learn, with the confidence to challenge constructively and the judgement to bring people with you.

• Build strong internal networks to gather input, align stakeholders and identify new opportunities for proposition development.
• Identify market, product and client trends to help inform investment proposition priorities and product road maps.
• Analyse competitor positioning, product structures, pricing, sustainability themes and client propositions.
• Review the existing investment product line up and identify opportunities for enhancement, consolidation or new product development.
• Support early stage product design, including target market, product features, vehicle considerations, commercial rationale and client demand.
• Use internal and external data sources to support analysis, prioritisation and decision making.
• Track delivery plans, milestones, risks, issues, actions and dependencies across relevant proposition initiatives.
• Own defined deliverables or workstreams, ensuring high quality outputs are delivered within agreed timeframes.
• Support communication and client facing teams to ensure the investment proposition is explained clearly and effectively.
• Maintain product specifications and support the rollout of proposition enhancements.
• Help assess proposition performance, including customer outcomes, profitability, commercial impact and ongoing suitability.
• Support compliance and governance requirements relating to the investment proposition.
About you
The successful candidate will be able to combine investment curiosity with delivery discipline, spotting what matters in the detail, connecting it to the bigger picture and bringing people with you to get things done.

You will bring:
• Demonstrated experience in investment management, asset management, proposition development, product management, investment consulting or broader financial services.
• Ideally hold, or be progressing towards, a relevant professional qualification such as IMC, CFA, CAIA or equivalent.
• Good knowledge of investment products across retail and institutional markets.
