Manager, Strategic Development, Real Assets - Macquarie Group

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Real Assets Strategic Development team in London as a Manager.

We are a driven, collaborative team that work closely with the Real Assets leadership, and wider Macquarie Asset Management to both identify and implement strategic and operational initiatives across the global Real Assets business with a focus on navigating complex business issues and facilitating change. Alongside this, we manage the annual cycle of global committees, Senior Leadership meetings, global townhalls and a variety of global communications to assume both our leaders and wider staff are both informed and involved in decision making.

Your responsibilities will include supporting and, at times, taking ownership of the delivery of key initiatives, such as identifying potential solutions, aligning stakeholders within the organisation, and driving execution on growth projects like the development of new business ideas or organisational changes. Additionally, you will provide support to the Head of Real Assets by conducting key analyses, including internal and competitor evaluations, as needed. You will also help manage the regular cycle of work for Real Assets, including assisting the team in preparing materials for committees and senior leadership meetings.
