Department Description

The Asset Management Platform Delivery function provides Operational and IT services to the Fidelity International Asset Management business, globally. These include the development and support of business processes that underpin our investment and distribution teams across the globe.

Purpose of your role

Accountable for driving the delivery of market data consolidation initiatives across the Asset Management landscape. This role translates strategy into execution— orchestrating delivery across multiple teams to reduce vendor and platform sprawl, simplify architecture, and deliver measurable cost and efficiency outcomes.

Ensure decommissioning of legacy systems and prevent duplication. Drive adoption of pragmatic, scalable data patterns (ingestion, distribution, entitlements) partnering with architecture. Ensure that the market data team are involved in each stage of the design, implementation and ongoing run in order to safeguard the necessary controls and auditability of our supplier contracts. The role will be responsible for developing the roadmap and have the necessary skills to convey this to the broader business through effective communication of the approach, risks and benefits. The successful individual will also need to have demonstrated successful delivery of large-scale change, whilst managing globally distributed teams.
