We are now looking for a Investment Proposition Manager to join us in Edinburgh.

It offers the chance to combine strategic thinking with tangible execution, working at pace while shaping longer term growth.

• Leading the development of new investment initiatives, from concept through to delivery, ensuring strong commercial outcomes.
• Taking ownership of existing propositions, proactively identifying opportunities to enhance performance, improve customer outcomes and maintain competitive positioning.
• Driving proposition strategy, bringing a forward thinking perspective to shape and influence our long term direction.
• Developing high quality business cases and proposals, underpinned by robust customer, adviser and distributor insights.
• Delivering insightful market and competitor analysis, clearly articulating implications and opportunities for the business.
• Owning governance requirements, including Board and Committee materials, ensuring clear, compelling and well structured outputs.
• Chairing and managing internal forums and committees relevant to proposition development and oversight.
• Collaborating with senior stakeholders across functions, influencing and aligning on priorities, delivery approaches and outcomes.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:  

• Proven experience leading the development and ongoing management of investment propositions.
• Strong technical and commercial understanding of investment solutions and product structures.
• A track record of successfully delivering complex initiatives and projects in a fast paced environment.
• Deep understanding of customer and adviser needs, with the ability to translate these into compelling solutions.
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with experience presenting to senior leadership and governance forums.
• The ability to operate at both a hands on delivery level and a strategic, forward looking level.

What’s in it for you? 

• We’re serious about your future and our enhanced pension scheme is now in place.  We ask you to contribute 3% of your salary to your pension and we’ll put in 9%.  If you decide to contribute more, we’ll match it up to a combined total of 20% of your salary (that’s 7% from you and 13% from us). 
• A discretionary bonus, depending on personal and company performance
• 34 days leave per year (including bank holidays, pro-rated for part-time)
