Helping shape balance-sheet strategy across a major UK financial services group
We're working with a large, well-established financial services group that's looking for an ALM Manager to join its central team. This team sits at the heart of the business, overseeing financial risk across multiple divisions - from retirement and investment management to retail businesses.
If you enjoy the mix of technical analysis, commercial thinking and senior-stakeholder conversations, this is very much that kind of role.
You'll be part of a small, high-impact team that makes sure different parts of the organisation are aligned on how they manage interest rate, inflation, currency, credit and equity risks. That includes:
Working closely with business units to understand their market-risk exposures under Solvency II, IFRS and liquidity metrics
Spotting inefficiencies or optimisation opportunities across the balance sheet
Helping develop and embed ALM and investment-risk frameworks at group level
Connecting macroeconomic views to ALM strategy - e.g., scenario ideas, rebalancing opportunities, downside protection, value-enhancement
Producing concise, high-quality MI for senior leadership and board-level committees
Working with the Group Treasury and Group Risk teams to ensure proposals are well-challenged, well-understood and aligned with wider risk appetite
Supporting improvements to processes, models and tooling - there's an appetite for smarter, more automated ways of working
A lot of the impact here comes from how well you communicate complex risk in a simple, credible way. This is not about being the most technical quant in the room - it's about being able to break down a problem, prototype an idea (often in Excel first), and explain it clearly to senior decision-makers.
They're looking for someone who is bright, dynamic and comfortable moving between technical detail and bigger-picture thinking.
You'll likely have:
A few years' post-qualification experience (actuarial, investment or accounting backgrounds all work)
A strong understanding of Solvency II balance sheet mechanics (particularly Matching Adjustment and capital requirements)
Good knowledge of investments, derivatives and hedging
The ability to interpret market moves and understand how they flow through IFRS, Solvency II and liquidity metrics
Comfortable working with data and code-based tools (Python/R a bonus)
Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders
You'd be the third direct report to the hiring manager, joining a small team with a reputation for being sharp, collaborative and genuinely dynamic.
