As an Investment Manager, you'll play a key role in supporting our Group Treasury function.

The investment function has oversight of the investment portfolio, gives advisory support to business units and manages a substantial amount of assets on behalf of certain insurance entities.

• Ongoing research & horizon scanning, including regulatory developments across the sustainable investing landscape.

• Assisting the Senior Investment Manager and Head of Asset Management with ad-hoc projects and activities.
