Legal & General is one of Europe’s largest asset managers, providing clients and partners with complex, responsible investment solutions, across public and private markets. As a global investor, we are present where our clients most need us – from Hong Kong and Singapore, to Chicago and major European financial hubs.

Created by combining our investment management (LGIM) and asset origination (LGC) capabilities, our Asset Management division works with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers – which include individual savers, pension scheme members and global institutions – and deliver enhanced shareholder returns.

Joining us means becoming part of a market-leading team, with capabilities across the full spectrum of asset classes, with an enduring commitment to responsible investment and creating long-term, sustainable value for our clients and partners.

To support LGIMs ever increasing breadth of capabilities, we require leaders who have a deep understanding of the key role that data plays in our success. Data sits at the heart of our day-to-day operations and underpins our future strategy, for example through the use of AI.

This role will be responsible for the data which supports our investment processes and will act as our voice, or subject matter expert, for investment-related data matters. It will also drive effective collaboration across our teams on all data initiatives, whether small continuous improvements or transformational solutions that support Investments’ strategic growth initiatives.

• You will have excellent influencing skills, which you have used to build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders 
• You must be able to define, develop, articulate and deploy data solutions, and be able to demonstrate a collaborative approach to doing so with other teams  
• You must also have an awareness of, and interest in, current and emerging data and technology trends and practices 
• You should have strong and credible communication skills, and can concisely provide complex information to senior stakeholders. 
• Highly desirable is knowledge of the investment management process, instruments, trade strategies, and risk analytics requirements; and investment management data and technology systems, and their inter-relationships and dependencies with each other  
• Also highly desirable is a track record of designing, building and enhancing data models and technology solutions within a global investment manager 
• Python and SQL programming experience is a plus, as is experience of working in AWS/Azure environments 

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer: 

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes  
• Generous pension contribution
