The Opportunity
Our Asset Management team works across a varied cross‑sector portfolio that includes helping clients develop asset management strategies, optimise investment plans, advise on digital tools and evolve asset management business processes. In all that we do we seek to ensure our clients are maximising the value of their assets within their constraints.
We are now looking for a Senior Asset Management Specialist to join the team. In this role you will deliver commissions, support bidding, build lasting relationships with our clients and support business development activities.
