You will be in the engine room of the ambitious growth taking place within M&G. Over the next 24 months we are launching multiple propositions into the market to give customers real confidence to put their money to work and the Finance Business Development team is leading the development work required within the Actuarial Modelling and Valuation team to launch these propositions successfully, and to continually improve reporting processes for those that are live.

In order for the team to succeed, we need a strong delivery manager to support and coordinate this activity. You will:

• Monitor the end-to-end delivery of multiple actuarial and proposition development projects
