The IIG Manager will be responsible for direct management of the London-based IIG product team responsible for responding to RFPs/RFIs and maintaining marketing materials. This team is currently comprised of four full time Marketing Analysts and one contract Analyst.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is likely to have a bachelor's degree as well as significant relevant experience in investment management and marketing operations. The candidate should have experience in people management and project leadership. The individual will have excellent quantitative and communication skills, as well as strong attention to detail. European language capability, particularly German, is considered a plus. An MBA or CFA, or progress toward these qualifications, is also considered to be advantageous, as is familiarity with Qvidian's RFP tool.

The individual must be an independent self-starter, a team player and able to work on multiple assignments and complete high quality work against strict and competing deadlines that are dictated by prospects, consultants, and clients. A positive, collegial attitude with a high level of professionalism is required.
