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.

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.

We are seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Bid Manager to join our collaborative and high-performing DC Bid team. This pivotal role sits within our Strategic Support Channel, with a primary focus on managing and maintaining research surveys and portals, completing industry surveys, and delivering quarterly investment performance updates.

• Completing industry-wide surveys and ensuring timely, accurate submissions
• Preparing quarterly investment performance updates
• Managing client due diligence questionnaires in collaboration with subject matter experts across the business

• Managing proposals for new and existing clients
• Ensuring submissions are compelling, accurate, and delivered on time
• Supporting follow-up queries, pitch preparation, site visits, and other new business activities

• Collaborate with the Content Manager to keep the central repository and standard procedure documents current
• Handling and implementing client pricing requests, including follow-up with non-strategic accounts
• Participate in process improvement initiatives to maintain high standards in service delivery, and create new materials to fill existing gaps
• Foster connections within the company and externally with a broad network of both investment and non-investment experts
• Consistently enhance your current understanding of the products and collaborate with other departments to refine written materials

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
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)

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.
