Head of Investment Management

Save job

An exceptional opportunity awaits for an experienced investment professional to step into the role of Head of Investment at a leading organisation based in Makati City. This position offers you the chance to shape and influence the strategic direction of the investment function, working within a supportive and inclusive environment that values your expertise and commitment.

What you'll do:

As Head of Investment, you will play a central role in shaping the future direction of the organisation’s investment activities. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve setting strategic priorities that reflect both market realities and organisational ambitions. You will work collaboratively across departments to ensure seamless execution of investment strategies while nurturing talent within your team. By building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels, you will help create an environment where open communication thrives. Your ability to stay ahead of regulatory changes and industry trends will be crucial in maintaining compliance and driving innovation. Success in this role requires not only technical expertise but also a genuine passion for supporting others’ growth and fostering an atmosphere where everyone feels valued.

  • Provide clear strategic direction for all aspects of the investment function, ensuring alignment with organisational goals and market trends.
  • Oversee the development, implementation, and monitoring of robust investment policies and procedures that promote responsible stewardship of assets.
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners to identify new investment opportunities and manage existing portfolios effectively.
  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a diverse team of investment professionals by fostering an inclusive culture built on trust, respect, and shared success.
  • Engage regularly with key stakeholders to communicate performance updates, share insights on market developments, and build strong relationships based on transparency.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by maintaining up-to-date knowledge of relevant laws, guidelines, and best practices within the industry.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives by evaluating processes, identifying areas for enhancement, and implementing solutions that support operational excellence.
  • Champion diversity and inclusion within the team by promoting equitable practices in recruitment, development, and recognition.
  • Utilise advanced analytical tools to assess risk profiles, optimise asset allocation strategies, and deliver consistent value for clients or beneficiaries.

What you bring:

To excel as Head of Investment, you will bring deep expertise gained through years spent navigating complex financial markets. Your background should include hands-on experience managing large portfolios or leading high-performing teams within reputable organisations. Beyond technical proficiency in asset allocation or risk assessment methodologies lies your ability to connect meaningfully with others—whether guiding junior staff members or collaborating with senior executives. Your approach is grounded in empathy; you understand how important it is for every voice around the table to be heard. A keen awareness of evolving regulations ensures that your recommendations are always compliant yet forward-thinking. Above all else, your dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace sets you apart: you believe strongly in creating opportunities for under-represented groups while championing ongoing learning for everyone.

  • Extensive experience in investment management with a proven track record of delivering results in complex environments over several years.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop strategic plans that align with organisational objectives while adapting quickly to changing market conditions.
  • Strong interpersonal skills that enable you to build trusting relationships with colleagues, stakeholders, clients, or beneficiaries from diverse backgrounds.
  • Exceptional mentoring abilities that allow you to nurture talent within your team by providing guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback.
  • Comprehensive understanding of regulatory frameworks governing investments along with practical experience ensuring compliance at all times.
  • Advanced analytical skills enabling you to interpret data accurately, assess risks effectively, and make informed decisions that benefit all parties involved.
  • Commitment to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion within teams through fair recruitment practices as well as ongoing professional development initiatives.
  • Excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—that facilitate clear reporting on performance metrics as well as sharing insights into emerging trends.

What sets this company apart:

This organisation stands out as a beacon for those seeking more than just another job—it offers a true sense of belonging within a community dedicated to shared achievement. Employees here enjoy flexible working arrangements designed around their needs because work-life balance is genuinely prioritised. Generous pension contributions provide peace of mind about the future while comprehensive training programmes ensure continual professional growth regardless of career stage.

Diversity isn’t just encouraged—it’s celebrated through tangible actions such as inclusive hiring practices or mentorship schemes aimed at empowering under-represented voices. Whether you’re looking for stability or inspiration (or both), this is an environment where kindness matters as much as competence—and where every contribution counts toward collective success.
