Strategic Business Architect – Investment Management | London / Hybrid |

We’re hiring on behalf of a global asset manager undergoing significant transformation across its investment operations and technology estate. This role sits within a strategic team focused on shaping operating models and enabling large-scale, front-to-back change initiatives.

The Opportunity:

As a Business Architect, you’ll work across the investment lifecycle to assess and design future-state operating models, define organisational structures, align change portfolios, and guide key stakeholders through complex decision-making. You’ll help translate strategy into execution and ensure delivery is aligned to long-term goals.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyse and define front-to-back investment operating models
• Lead design of business capabilities, roles, structures, and governance frameworks
• Own strategic design problems independently, collaborating with BAs and tech architects
• Provide insight into centralised/decentralised, insourced/outsourced models
• Advise on gaps, risks, and opportunities within current and future-state models
• Guide delivery teams and provide oversight across change implementation
• Shape roadmaps and provide strategic input to senior governance forums

What We’re Looking For:

• Deep experience in asset management (ideally across Investments, Ops, Distribution)
• Proven leadership in operating model and business architecture design
• A strategic thinker with strong analytical and communication skills
• Solid grasp of financial markets, products and operational processes

Why Apply?

You’ll join a forward-thinking organisation committed to innovation and excellence. Flexible working, a supportive team culture, and meaningful work are just the beginning.
