Background

Growth – both organic and inorganic – is central to the long-term ambitions of our Insurance, Asset Management (IAM), and Actuarial (OWA) businesses.

The role drives a portfolio of priorities spanning growth and strategic projects, including: identifying, evaluating, and integrating potential acquisition targets; working closely with cross-functional teams, including corporate development, finance, legal, HR, and operations, to ensure successful execution of acquisitions; leading business-side integration planning and governance once transactions close; and supporting other strategic projects on the growth agenda.
