Investment Solutions Associate (Business Development) – London
Mercer's Wealth business is seeking a candidate who has a strong level of investment knowledge and experience, a passion for excellence and a strong team ethos.
The role is based in London and would sit within an existing business development team covering sales, marketing and sales support but is specifically aimed at helping develop:
- Investment related opportunities with UK & Bermuda insurers, including advisory appointments and delegated (or OCIO) mandates
- Defined Contribution (DC) pension opportunities, both advisory and master trust
- Corporate advisory appointments
A key focus of the role is to help develop opportunities through existing relationships at other companies within Marsh McLennan – namely Marsh, Guy Carpenter and Oliver Wyman.
What can you expect:
- An exciting opportunity to join Mercer's rapidly-growing global Investment Solutions business, which has seen phenomenal growth over recent years and is now the world's largest provider of OCIO (Outsourced Chief Investment Officer) services with over $480bn in assets under management
- London is the hub for management of our entire UK client base of institutional investors, and so you will have direct day-to-day exposure to a wide range of senior leaders and investment decision-makers across our Investment, Client, Sales and Operations teams
- As part of our Business Development Unit, you will be at the heart of the action: supporting our sales leaders with large new-business opportunities.
- In this central team you will enhance your knowledge and understanding of an entire range of investment topics like strategy-setting, private markets investing, ESG investing, capital markets, and more. You will also hone your skills around project management, communication of key messages in a concise way, and management of different personality types both internally and externally
- This diversity of skills, knowledge and experience will open up a variety of long-term career paths both within business development and wider functions. We are a high-performing business with an extremely strong culture of inclusivity, diversity and teamwork. We also provide generous study-support packages (e.g. CFA) and are passionate about both career development and work-life balance
We will count on you to:
- Develop in-depth knowledge of Mercer's investment research and client solutions, to explain and communicate to colleagues and prospective clients in the insurance and pensions sectors
- Work closely with sales and commercial leadership on all aspects of sales and business development activities, including: managing data and tracking pipeline development; supporting initial meeting and pitch material development; and assisting in RFP production and review for live opportunities
- Undertake desktop-based research on prospects across the three focus areas
- Navigate internal channels across Mercer, Marsh, Guy Carpenter and Oliver Wyman to identify warm leads
What is in it for you:
- Competitive Benefits Package including: 25 days annual leave, up to 4 days of flexible bank holidays, excellent pension contributions, private medical cover, life assurance, income protection, employee assistance program, plus a range of flexible benefits including the option to buy or sell up to 5 days holiday per year, cycle to work, dental insurance, health assessments plus many more
- An intellectually challenging, fun, and supportive environment with people who are invested in your growth and development
What you need to have:
- Third-level qualification with a strong academic track record and strong interest in capital markets and investment industry (CFA and actuarial candidates welcome)
- 5+ years in UK insurance and/or pensions and investment experience
- Previous sales support experience desirable but not essential
- Ability to develop internal relationships to leverage commercial opportunities
- Energy, proactivity and attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple projects, stakeholders and deliverables simultaneously
- Proven team player characteristics and interpersonal skills
- Strong IT skills (PowerPoint, Excel, Word with ability to embrace other tools)
What makes you stand out:
- Understanding of institutional investment landscape and structures
- Creative thinking with high standards of output and ability to generate concise written materials
- Ability to communicate complex issues in a simple and coherent manner
