The business has grown significantly in recent years and continues to build a strong pipeline of new opportunities, making this an excellent time to join a team with real momentum.

This role will have a particular focus on systematic multi-asset and equity strategies, including long/short and higher active strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• Championing Systematic Investing through high-quality client engagement, investment communication and service delivery.
• Leading investment-related client presentations, consultant meetings and due diligence discussions with both prospective and existing clients.
• Representing the portfolio managers and communicating investment philosophy, process, positioning and performance clearly and credibly.
