    • Evaluate the impact of market changes on team operations.
    • Understand the needs and limitations of external partners and how they impact internal processes.
  • Develop and enhance internal ETF tools and processes.
    • Coordinate execution of key initiatives and projects within the ETF Capital Markets platform across functional groups.
  • Increasing visibility of the L&G ETF range, with participation in industry conferences and events
  • Support and collaborate with distribution to assist in new business opportunities and meetings with existing clients

Qualifications
