Our purpose is to help secure the pensions of more than a million people who have served their communities and wider society. We are the largest UK asset manager outside London and Edinburgh, providing innovative investments designed to deliver sustainable long-term returns.

We are actively developing this capability to provide comprehensive, customer focussed solutions that enhance investment outcomes.

Due to expansion in this area we are now seeking a Portfolio Manager to join the Portfolio Solutions team who will specialise in the provision of expert investment strategy, asset allocation and multi-asset construction tailored to the evolving needs of our underlying pension fund customers.
