We have a great opportunity to join us here at Phoenix Group as an Investment Operations Senior Analyst providing technical support to colleagues in our Investment Operations teams as well as being involved in delivery of change initiatives, from process improvement to strategic change. This is a maternity cover role and therefore will be hired on a temporary basis.

Our Investment Operations team are responsible for the administration of around 2,000 unit-linked and with-profits funds with over 9,000 pricing series linked to them. Our roles vary from oversight of fund accounting and unit pricing to maintenance of customer facing data for our funds.
We’re looking for someone to use their knowledge, experience and qualifications to support delivery of change across our unit-linked life and pension, and with-profits business.
You’ll need to be able to build on your existing investment operations expertise to quickly become a technical expert on how we administer our funds each day and the steps we need to follow to implement changes safely – we’ll make sure you’re fully supported on this. You’ll be working as part of a small team to scale and adjust internal processes, liaise with outsource providers, and help coordinate activity across multiple internal and external parties.
The nature of this role means that you’ll need to be comfortable working with other areas of the business and challenging proposals/decisions to ensure we deliver the right outcomes for customers and align to long-term strategic objectives of the business.
