- Be aware of, and champion as appropriate, alternate processes and procedures, including through new technologies, that may increase robustness / efficiency across LGIM Real Assets financial and operational target operating model
Who we're looking for:
- Post graduate qualification in an appropriate field e.g. accountancy, consultancy, internal audit

- Understanding of audit processes and methodologies
- Knowledge of key risks applicable to fund accounting
- 1-2 yeas experience working in Asset Management, focused on Private Markets within relevant roles
- Relevant experience of Supplier Governance, Compliance and Oversight management
- Experience in identifying and implementing process improvements
- Good experience and expertise with relevant systems (Microsoft suite)
