Senior Project Manager

Our purpose is to give everyone real confidence to put their money to work. With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions.

Our two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.

Through telling it like it is, owning it now, and moving it forward together with care and integrity; we are creating an exceptional place to work for exceptional talent.

We will consider flexible working arrangements for any of our roles and also offer work place accommodations to ensure you have what you need to effectively deliver in your role.

M'G is making material investments in its digital and data capabilities, to improve customer experience, streamline processes, improve controls and embed data in the way we operate.

We are ramping up a Group-wide data transformation project to drive material improvements in complex, cross-functional processes operating across Asset Management, Life insurance and Finance, through better access to data. The project aims to implement high-impact, data-driven use cases in subsequent, time-boxed waves. Each wave will enable the Group to progressively upgrade data foundations and capabilities, while enabling the re-engineering of key processes and building momentum across the organisation.

Benefits will primarily consist in data-led control improvements at first, before expanding to structural efficiency gains, while ensuring we build reusable data products as we progress.

The Senior Project Manager will lead delivery of selected transformation initiatives end-to-end, ensuring successful implementation and adoption across the business. The initial focus will be a strategic Real Estate data product, and associated Business Processes. You'll need to hit the ground running, picking up knowledge transfer and ensuring continuity as we transition from contractor-led delivery to permanent capability.
