The Mandate
Hatwit International is conducting a confidential search for a Life Savings & Investment Development Manager for a well-established international financial services company.
The organisation is further developing its value proposition, with particular focus on savings and investment-linked products, while investing in the digital platforms and internal capabilities required to support future growth.
The Role
The role is designed as a business and technical integrator, connecting Product, Actuarial, Finance, Investments, Risk, Legal, Compliance, IT, Operations and Distribution.
Its purpose is to strengthen the organisation’s capability to identify market opportunities, translate them into viable propositions and lead their development from product concept through implementation and launch.
The Leadership Mandate
- Develop and scale Life Savings, Unit Linked and investment-linked propositions.
- Shape product architecture, pricing logic and underlying economics.
- Connect product development with investment mechanics and asset / liability considerations.
- Strengthen product profitability, persistency and lapse management.
- Ensure appropriate product governance and regulatory alignment.
- Coordinate cross-functional implementation and product launches.
- Build stronger internal capability around the development of investment-related Life solutions.
Leadership Profile
We are particularly interested in senior professionals with hands-on experience in Life product development, especially savings, Unit Linked or other investment-linked propositions.
The relevant profile combines product expertise with a solid understanding of pricing, investment mechanics, profitability, governance and implementation.
Experience in building new propositions is particularly important; this is not a role focused only on managing an existing product portfolio.
Exposure to banking, investments or broader wealth-related environments is considered highly relevant where it connects directly to insurance-based investment solutions.
Hatwit Search Perspective
For this mandate, we have the talent pool intentionally broad.
Relevant profiles may come from Financial services, regional or Group, Reinsurance, Asset Management or Wealth Management, provided they bring direct exposure to insurance-based investment propositions.
