Who we are 

We are one of Europe’s largest asset managers and a major global investor across public and private markets.

Asset Management is a critical driver of our Group strategy. The business aims to work synergistically with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers, and deliver enhanced shareholder returns.  

Our investment philosophy and processes are focused on creating value over the long term. We believe that incorporating financially material sustainability criteria, when relevant to our clients, can create value and drive positive change. 

Are you an organised and curious problem-solver who enjoys bringing people, processes and technology together?

We are looking for a Portfolio Operations Associate to join our Real Assets Property Operations team. This is a broad and varied opportunity supporting the operation of our commercial property platform, helping improve how information is managed, how issues are resolved and how digital propositions are delivered.

You do not need to be a property expert. We are interested in people who can communicate confidently, think in a structured way and coordinate activity across different teams. You could bring experience from operations, consulting, financial services, technology, data or another relevant professional environment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the configuration, testing, launch and ongoing development of Vizta by L&G
• Coordinating property activity and helping ensure data is accurate, consistent and kept up to date
• Investigating operational, data and system issues and progressing them through to resolution
• Working with Data Analytics to improve reporting accuracy and generate useful insight
• Supporting the rollout and adoption of new digital propositions across the property portfolio
• Managing multiple operational projects and workstreams while tracking actions, risks and dependencies
• Coordinating with marketing partners to develop building content and digital communications
• Supporting sustainability and social-impact activity across commercial property assets

Who we’re looking for:

• Experience coordinating projects, processes or workstreams in an operations, consulting, technology, data or business-support environment
• Clear and confident communication skills, with the ability to adapt your approach to different audiences
• Evidence of structured thinking and practical problem-solving
• Confidence working with numbers, data, technology or digital platforms
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage several priorities at the same time
• A proactive approach to building relationships, following through on actions and keeping others informed
• Experience working effectively within a professional or corporate environment
• An interest in real estate, digital improvement or creative communications, with direct property experience welcomed but not essential

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
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
• At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
• Competitive family leave
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
• There are many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• We’re creating net‑zero carbon workplaces by 2030 by investing in our sustainable, modern offices across the UK, all designed to bring people together and elevate the in‑person experience

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all. 

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can. 

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
