At M&G, our purpose is to give everyone real confidence to put their money to work. With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions. Our two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.

We will consider flexible working arrangements for any of our roles and offer workplace adjustments to ensure you have the support you need to succeed in your role.

The Role:

Background

M&G Life is making important choices about how Sonata and other strategic platforms will support its future digital propositions for customers and advisers. We are looking for someone with the platform knowledge and commercial judgement to bring a clear, forward-looking view to those decisions, ensuring platform choices support our ambitions for digital experience and growth.

As part of a small Digital Architecture team, you will help develop how we approach platform decisions across M&G Life. The work reaches across propositions, with direct exposure to important choices before they become difficult or costly to change.

You will be joining a team that brings architecture, proposition, product, and design together around the digital experience. The role gives you scope to build a well-informed point of view, test it with experienced colleagues, and see it influence real proposition and platform decisions. For someone who enjoys making sense of difficult choices, learning across disciplines and helping others reach better decisions, it offers unusual breadth and the chance to establish a distinctive area of expertise.

Role Summary

As a Digital Platform Proposition Architect, you will bring platform expertise into the development of our digital propositions from the outset. Working across proposition, experience, operating model and technology, you will develop a clear view of where and how our core platforms should be used, what they can enable, and the choices needed to create propositions that can operate and scale effectively.

Sonata will be your immediate focus. You will advise on questions such as which needs should be met within the platform or elsewhere, what can be reused across propositions and when M&G should adopt standard platform capability rather than customise. Over time, the role will extend across other strategic platforms and the wider digital ecosystem.
