Level 7
We’re proud to have been helping our clients build better financial futures for over 50 years. We do this by combining investment expertise, disciplined governance and resilient platforms that help our teams make great decisions for our clients. Join the Asset Management Platform (AMP) to lead the build-out of our multi-asset and systematic investment capability—designing and building applications from scratch and working hand in glove with investment teams to accelerate delivery of front-office functionality.
About your team
As a business, we are constantly evolving how we work to stay ahead of what our clients need and to deliver on our Forward 8 ambitions. FIL Platforms represents the next step in that journey - bringing together Asset Management Delivery, Enterprise Technology Services, and delivery and change teams from across the business into a single integrated structure, designed for clarity, speed, and impact.
That structure is organised around Platforms, each a focused unit of capability with a single accountable owner and within each Platform, a set of Value Streams and capabilities that translate strategic priorities into funded, sequenced delivery.
Your value stream/capability set sits at the heart of that model. It exists to connect our talent and expertise directly to the priorities that matter most, delivering greater impact for our clients with less duplication and fewer competing backlogs.
This role sits within the Asset Management Platform, within the Trading and Compliance Capability.
