Job Description

Investment Manager



Salary: 63,537 per annum plus benefits and relocation allowance



Location: South Shields / Hybrid working (typically 2 - 3 days office working per week)



Employer: South Tyneside Council (as Administering Authority for the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund)





Thank you for your interest in this role.



Serving more than 200 active employers, the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund is already a high achieving Fund; it is the fourth largest Local Government Pension Fund in England and Wales and is currently valued at over 14 billion. It has over 190,000 members, including the five councils within the Tyne and Wear County area and Northumberland County Council.



We have announced a pensions administration d service with the Teesside Pension Fund. This will see the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund providing pensions administration services for the Teesside Pension Fund, its members and employers. The d service will be one of the largest operations in the Local Government Pension Scheme and this makes it a very exciting time to join us.



Despite our continued success, we are not complacent, and we are looking to build on our existing reputation, as we seek to constantly improve and innovate. We are looking to rise to the challenge of meeting the increasing demands of the Local Government Pension Scheme as well as the wider pensions industry. As we look to continue this journey that is where you come in......



We are looking forward to recruiting a new Investment Manager who will further develop and implement the Pension Fund's investment strategy and governance arrangements. You will play a key role in the delivery of our local investment ambitions. A key requirement of the Governments 'Fit for the Future' consultation is around increasing local investments. We are passionate about the North East region and working alongside key stakeholders we are looking to increase our investment presence in the area and develop investment solutions with Border to Coast. In addition, as we progress our asset pooling journey the importance of monitoring and oversight cannot be understated, and this role will form a leading part of that process through direct interaction with Border to Coast investment colleagues.



This is a really interesting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join our successful team and help us to drive forward a focus on high quality oversight and developing local investments, both of which are key areas for the Fund. Whilst we must continue to maximise our assets and income, we must also be aware of the impact of those investments on people and the planet, hence we will also maintain our strong responsible investment approach through sound stewardship and continued collaboration with Border to Coast and the wider LGPS.



This role is ideal for someone ready to take the next step in their career. While a background in finance is not essential, we are looking for someone with a genuine interest in investments--particularly local investment and investment oversight. With our support, you'll be guided along a clear path for career development, including opportunities to gain professional qualifications where needed.



The role offers management responsibility, exposure to reporting into the Pension Committee, Local Pension Board, and wider pension groups, and close collaboration with Border to Coast. Whether your background is in finance, investments, pensions, policy, or strategy, this is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious individual who sees the long-term potential of this role.



You'll be joining a high-performing authority and a passionate, driven team. We are actively seeking someone who could grow into a future Principal Investment Manager. We will offer full support and guidance to help you build a fulfilling, challenging, and successful career--right here in a beautiful and accessible region.



If you are interested in joining our team and are inspired to help lead the next phase of our journey, we look forward to your application.
