Who we’re looking for

We are seeking an experienced Programme Manager with a strong track record of leading complex data & technology delivery within large, global financial services organisations. This individual will combine delivery leadership with genuine data platform literacy, particularly across the Snowflake ecosystem and other data technologies such as DBT & Collibra and will bring the judgement and credibility needed to operate at a senior level across business and technology stakeholders.

You will take accountability for programme outcomes and objectives across multiple cross-functional teams, shaping priorities, challenging constructively and maintaining momentum. You are equally effective coaching teams, managing governance and navigating senior stakeholder relationships. You understand that data governance and platforms in asset management sit at the centre of commercial, regulatory and operational priorities, and you bring enough domain awareness to ensure delivery decisions reflect that context.

Above all, you are pragmatic. You adapt your approach to context, prioritise what delivers the most value, and recognise that sustained delivery depends on both mindset and discipline.

About Us

We’re a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.

We have around 5,000 people on six continents. And we’ve been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn’t change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

It is a multi year programme with a team of circa 25 people across data architecture, business analysis, engineering and testing that sit within 3 workstreams, the Data Product Factory, Alignment & Decommissioning and Platform Enablement.

What you’ll do

• Responsible for managing the programme’s delivery, resourcing and budget and accountable to the programme sponsor
• Effective, proactive and regular stakeholder management specifically with Business Heads of Data across all business pillars, Data Office and other teams within Global Technology
• Maintain delivery governance appropriate to the programme and its complexity, ensuring clear reporting, decision-making and escalation structures that align to AMP enterprise delivery standards and Global Technology lifecycle processes.

• Strong working knowledge of Data platforms, ideally Snowflake, Collibra, Solidatus and Cloud Azure and AWS features

What you’ll be like

Outcome-focused practitioner

You take ownership for delivering measurable value through iterative, team-based delivery. You balance business urgency with technical quality and are relentless in keeping teams focused on what matters most. You understand that delivery is about outcomes and quality, not activity, and you hold yourself and your teams to that standard.

Platform-literate delivery leader

You bring enough depth in Data platforms to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions and hold solution quality to account. You don’t need to be a hands‑on administrator, but you understand how these platforms work, how they are configured and released, and how they connect to the broader technology landscape. That literacy earns you credibility with engineers, analysts and business stakeholders alike.

Pragmatic and adaptive

You apply the right methodology to the right context, recognising delivery often blends agile, iterative and configuration‑led approaches. You are comfortable with ambiguity and adjust your approach as the landscape evolves. You don’t over-engineer process for the sake of it, but you know when structure and discipline are needed to keep things on track.
