Contract Spy
Horsham, UK
Who we're looking for We're looking for a change specialist who really likes change. We've got a new site, new teams, and new ways of working. So we want someone who'll roll their sleeves up, work out what the business needs and co-ordinate the many changes driven by new products, regulations and systems. You'll be busy, hands-on, and can-do, and you'll need to influence all kinds of people in all kinds of places. But that also means there'll be lots of opportunities to make an impact. About Schroders We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future. We have around 4,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper. The base You'll be based at our new Broadlands Business Campus near Horsham in West Sussex. That's our new operations hub - home to our client servicing, product reporting and operational oversight for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It's a brand new site, and a brand new team, putting digital first. So we're looking for people who are excited about setting things up, shaking things up, and working across teams. It's a chance to shape how we work rather than slot into an established structure. It'll have same high standards and international reputation as our HQ in the City of London, without being in the city: a big, countryside campus (and no commute on the Tube) means life will feel a little different.
