Who are we?

We want to be the best place that any of our 6,600 colleagues have ever worked.

We’re the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business. We offer a range of products across our market-leading brands, Standard Life, SunLife, Phoenix Life and ReAssure. Around 1 in 5 people in the UK has a pension with us. We’re a FTSE 100 organisation that is tackling key issues such as transitioning our portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we’re not done yet.

The role

As a Senior Commercial Manager you will join an established Commercial team that directly supports the growth ambitions of our P&S business. You’ll get lots of exposure to the main trading channels, but will spend most of your time supporting the ambitious Investments-related agenda.

This means you will bring essential commercial focus and expertise to strategically important investments programmes and will collaborate daily with colleagues in Investment Solutions, Asset Management and the Product areas. Some technical knowledge will be essential, but equally so will be your drive, determination, and resilience.

Senior Commercial Manager roles have typically been carried out by accounting or actuarial professionals, but we will consider any individual with necessary skills and experience from a commercial, investments, finance or product pricing background.

What are we looking for?

If you are curious, collaborative, and champion of positive change, then this could be the role for you.

We’re Looking For

• Technical background, with experience in investment-related services or pricing
• Tenacious approach, with examples of pragmatism and flexibility to get the job done
• Positive agent for change, who can embrace and cut through day-to-day challenges
• A self-starter, who can operate semi-autonomously under the direction of senior leadership
• A clear communicator, who is naturally collaborative and seeks to bring people with them
  
  

We Want To Hire The Whole Version Of You.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe that you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you.

If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know so we can help you to be at your best.
