What you'll do

You will identify market opportunities, develop business cases, define new solutions, improve existing propositions and work closely with delivery teams to bring initiatives to life.
Success in this role will require strong commercial awareness, strategic thinking and a deep understanding of the financial planning and adviser market.

The base
You'll be based at the Benchmark Head Office, within our Broadlands Business Campus near Horsham in West Sussex but will need to be present across our other offices, including the main Schroders headquarters in London. It has high standards and international reputation, without being in the city: a big, countryside campus means life will feel a little different.
We support our offices by using cutting edge software and hardware and our spacious campus facilities mean there's a great working environment for the team. With an on-site restaurant, coffee shop and gym, our campus has much to offer. And commuters can relax on our dedicated regular shuttle bus to and from Horsham’s main line train station
