About the Role
Step into a high-impact leadership role within a leading asset management group, operating across 24 markets in Asia and Africa. This is your chance to be part of a fast-growing, strategic corporate development team, driving transformative M&A, partnerships, and portfolio-level initiatives that shape the company’s growth trajectory.
As a Senior Group Manager, you will:
Lead end-to-end transactions: identify acquisition and divestment opportunities, run valuation and due diligence, and structure deals that deliver strategic impact.
Partner across functions: collaborate with Risk, Legal, Finance, and Tax teams, as well as external advisers, to ensure deals are executed flawlessly.
Drive strategic initiatives: contribute to high-level group strategy, including portfolio optimisation, market entry, and asset management growth options.
Deliver insights to leadership: prepare compelling Exco materials to support decision-making at the highest levels.
Operate in a high-growth, fast-moving environment: work across Asia and Africa on a portfolio of 15–20 live projects, spanning acquisitions, divestments, IPOs, fintech partnerships, and strategic investments.
What We’re Looking For
8–12+ years of experience in investment banking, strategy consulting, or corporate development.
Strong expertise in financial modelling, valuations, and transaction execution – you’ll be doing the heavy lifting, not just reviewing.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-market projects and work directly with senior stakeholders.
Commercial acumen, strong communication, and influencing skills.
FS experience preferred; actuarial or quant-driven backgrounds a plus.
Why This Role Is Exciting
Be part of a high-performing team with ~50% ex-strategy consultants and ~50% ex-investment bankers, operating at the intersection of corporate strategy and deal execution.
Gain exposure to multi-market transactions across Asia and Africa, including IPOs, partnerships, and portfolio optimisation.
Work in a fast-growing, innovative environment, where your contributions are visible to senior leadership and shape the company’s strategic direction.
Enjoy variety and autonomy – no two days are the same, and you will be involved in everything from modeling deals to shaping strategic growth options.
