The role holder will have responsibility for the manager research process that will maintain an approved list of liquid alternative managers/strategies suitable for use across the platform, as well as make recommendations to the Investment Committee for manager selection, change decisions and the blending of managers within asset class strategies.

In addition, the role holder will be expected to contribute to the enhancement of manager research and monitoring processes, particularly with respect to the implementation of new technologies, as well as significantly contribute towards the evolution of the SJP investment proposition, so that we continue to meet the current and future needs of our clients.

- Responsibility for monitoring and analysing SJP funds with exposure to liquid alternatives to ensure they continue to meet expectations from a quantitative and qualitative perspective.
- Responsibility for maintaining an approved list of external managers in liquid alternatives for use across the SJP investment platform.
- Represent liquid alternatives at senior Investment governance committees, including the Investment Committee, to make recommendations and participate in the decision making in relation to liquid alternative managers within the SJP investment proposition, as well as raise awareness of any issues that may require further analysis or discussion.
- Responsibility for blending of managers within multi-manager funds to ensure they continue to meet fund objectives (e.g. managing overall volatility and factor sensitivity)
- Responsibility for ensuring stylistic tilts and macroeconomic views are captured within portfolio construction of liquid alternative funds as well as feeding into wider asset allocation decisions.
- Promote understanding of the investment proposition, SJP fund range and portfolios through presentations to the Partnership and attendance at meetings with high-net-worth clients where additional support is required beyond the Consultancy & Engagement function.
- Initiate and lead projects across the liquid alternative manager research area, often through increased use of technology, that improve processes and scalability, in line with SJP objectives.
- Lead the relationship with existing and prospective fund managers.
- Build strong relationships, particularly with senior members of SJP’s product management, proposition, communications, R&D, legal, operations, regulatory, compliance and investment risk teams to help support smooth implementation of investment change.

**What we’re looking for**:
Understanding of the fund management industry and financial markets and how potential changes may impact the business. Including:

- Very strong technical knowledge of liquid alternatives and the investment processes used by managers.
- Understanding of how to manage liquidity risk.
- Capable of making clear investment recommendations and taking personal responsibility and accountability for the performance of liquid alternative managers on the SJP investment platform.
- Ability to manage, influence and prioritise across multiple workstreams to ensure successful and timely outcomes.

**What's in it for you?**
- Non-Contributory Pension - 10% (increasing with length of service up to 15%) with further pension matching.
- Parental leave - 6 months full pay
- 28 days holiday entitlement plus bank holidays (based on full-time equivalent) with the option to buy up to an additional 5 days holiday

**Flexible Working**
We know that everyone works best in different ways, at different times and in different environments. We have introduced a hybrid working policy to provide greater flexibility for part-time work, job-sharing, remote working, and flexibility on hours. Our people are encouraged to work in a flexible way that suits their lifestyle, so please ask the question and start a conversation
