## About the Role

* Significant relevant experience in investment consultancy, asset management, fiduciary management/OCIO, solutions, or an actuarial/pensions advisory environment.
 * Strong understanding of UK DB pension scheme assets and liabilities, funding dynamics and governance frameworks.
 * Proven capability across investment strategies used across pensions, endowments and charities/foundations, including a range of asset classes and investment products and derivatives for risk management (rates/inflation hedging, collateral concepts, leverage and liquidity considerations).
 * Solid knowledge of industry investment trends and topical issues across pensions, and endowments and charities/foundations;
 * Demonstrable experience working directly with clients, including presenting complex concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
 * Evidence of leading workstreams and/or managing others (line management and/or matrix/project leadership), with accountability for delivery quality and timelines.

The knowledge, experience and qualifications that will help

 * Experience with data visualisation (Power BI/Tableau) and/or Python is a plus, but not essential.
 * Experience supporting proposals, RFPs, or broader commercial activity (pipeline development, cross-selling, account planning).
 * Familiarity with multi-asset / solutions frameworks and practical implementation considerations (manager selection oversight, platform considerations, transition planning, operational readiness).
 * Experience working with client types outside of UK DB schemes (e.g. insurance or other long term asset owners like endowments and charities/foundations) is not required, but is considered a positive as we continue to grow our business in these areas.
 * Completion of CFA (or equivalent professional qualification) is desirable.

What you'll be like

 * Well organised, with strong project leadership skills and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
 * A clear, confident communicator, able to influence senior stakeholders internally and externally.
 * Collaborative and proactive, comfortable working across teams, geographies and disciplines.
 * Intellectually curious, with strong judgement and a continuous improvement mindset.
 * Comfortable taking ownership and being accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.

## Description

As a senior member of the team, you will take a leading role in client delivery, oversight of workstreams and development of colleagues, working closely with senior stakeholders across Solutions and the wider firm.

 * Lead and co-lead client engagements across pensions or endowments and charities/foundations depending on your experience, acting as a day-to-day senior contact and ensuring high-quality, timely delivery.
 * Design and shape investment strategy recommendations (e.g. for UK DB pensions this would include journey planning, de-risking, LDI/hedging strategy, growth/return-seeking portfolios), incorporating market developments and client-specific constraints.
 * Provide technical oversight and review of analysis and outputs from strategy tools and modelling, ensuring robustness, clarity and appropriate framing of recommendations.
 * Own senior-quality client materials (papers, presentations, strategy documentation) and confidently present to trustee boards, corporate sponsors and internal committees.
 * Monitor and evolve investment strategies for clients, proactively identifying risks, opportunities and required actions (including governance, implementation and operational considerations).
 * Drive proposition development within one or more of our Specialist Functions (for example Fixed Income Solutions, Growth Portfolios, Private Assets etc.)
 * Contribute to proposition innovation and new business opportunities predominantly across pensions, endowments and charities/foundations by supporting proposals, thought leadership and identifying new opportunities with existing and prospective clients. This could also involve supporting international opportunities with colleagues based overseas.
 * Coach and develop junior colleagues, including oversight of work allocation, quality review, and on-the-job mentoring (with scope for formal line management depending on experience and team needs).
 * Collaborate across multiple teams (Client Reporting, Portfolio Management, Distribution, Asset Class teams, Operations, Risk, Legal/Compliance) to deliver effective end-to-end solutions for clients.
