Technical Project Manager

Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor.

We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders.

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.

L&G Asset Management 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.

We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our IT Operations team at Legal & General Asset Management. This role focuses on delivering infrastructure and application upgrade projects that support the stability and performance of our technology estate.

You’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure projects are delivered efficiently, aligned with business needs, and compliant with governance standards. It’s a hands-on role that requires strong project leadership, clear communication, and a practical understanding of enterprise IT environments.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading end-to-end project delivery from initiation through to implementation
• Managing application upgrades and infrastructure enhancements across business areas
• Collaborating with internal teams and third-party vendors to deliver technical solutions
• Coordinating project finances and ensuring alignment with budget expectations
• Producing governance packs and reporting on project progress to senior stakeholders
• Supporting the delivery of SAAS and PAAS hosted solutions
• Driving improvements through agile and traditional project methodologies
• Ensuring compliance with technical architecture and project management frameworks

Who we’re looking for:

• Extensive experience in technical project management within financial services
• Holding certifications such as Prince2, PMI or ITIL
• Showing experience with software development lifecycle and production environments
• Deep knowledge and understanding high-level and low-level technical designs
• Experience managing projects involving cloud, infrastructure, and application technologies
• Experience of working confidently with third-party suppliers and matrix-managed teams

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 the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

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, term-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.
