Company Description
Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor.
We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders.
We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.
L&G Asset Management is one of Europe’s largest asset managers, providing clients and partners with complex, responsible investment solutions, across public and private markets. As a global investor, we are present where our clients most need us – from Hong Kong and Singapore, to Chicago and major European financial hubs.
Created by combining our investment management (LGIM) and asset origination (LGC) capabilities, our Asset Management division works with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers – which include individual savers, pension scheme members and global institutions – and deliver enhanced shareholder returns.
Joining us means becoming part of a market-leading team, with capabilities across the full spectrum of asset classes, with an enduring commitment to responsible investment and creating long-term, sustainable value for our clients and partners.

What you’ll be doing:

Providing financial planning, budgeting, and stress testing to promote value for investors
Reviewing and signing off high-risk financial outputs from outsourced administrators
Ensuring accurate and timely financial and regulatory reporting
Advising on financial performance indicators and risk mitigation strategies
Acting as a trusted adviser to internal stakeholders on fund-related financial matters
Leading financial input into onboarding new products, assets, and suppliers
Presenting financial insights to internal boards and external investors
Qualifications
Who we’re looking for:
A professional qualification in accounting or finance (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA)
Strong experience in private markets or real assets fund finance
In-depth knowledge of UK residential property funds and fund structures
Proficiency in fund accounting, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance
Ability to analyse financial performance and communicate insights clearly
Experience working with third-party administrators and internal stakeholders
Confidence in presenting to senior stakeholders and external clients
A collaborative and proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:
The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
Generous pension contribution
Life assurance
Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
Competitive family leave
Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
In 2026, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart
