Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor. 

We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders. 

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income. 

Our global asset management business provides our clients and partners with complex, responsible investment solutions, working internationally across public and private markets. 

Who we are 

We are one of Europe’s largest asset managers and a major global investor across public and private markets.

Asset Management is a critical driver of our Group strategy. The business aims to work synergistically with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers, and deliver enhanced shareholder returns.  

Our investment philosophy and processes are focused on creating value over the long term. We believe that incorporating financially material sustainability criteria, when relevant to our clients, can create value and drive positive change. 

We are recruiting for a Private Markets Fundraising Execution Manager to take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of fundraising campaigns and high-profile capital-raising projects across strategies, geographies and client segments. This is an opportunity to make a visible impact in a dynamic team, combining private markets knowledge, exceptional organisation and practical use of AI and technology to turn fundraising priorities into delivery.

You’ll work at the centre of Private Markets Distribution, Investments, Product, Marketing, Legal, Compliance and Operations, bringing people, information and workstreams together to deliver successful fundraising campaigns. By ensuring distribution colleagues have the materials, insights and processes they need, you’ll help them focus on investor engagement and capital raising while making execution more consistent, scalable and efficient.

You’ll bring structure to complexity: setting clear priorities, anticipating dependencies and keeping multiple projects moving without losing sight of the detail. We’re looking for someone who combines hands-on delivery with strategic thinking and uses AI, automation and smarter workflows to build a repeatable, scalable fundraising model.

The focus is fundraising execution and project leadership, rather than client servicing or a direct sales remit. You’ll take ownership of delivery, coordinate colleagues across functions and help shape how the team executes private markets capital-raising initiatives.

There is scope to grow within the role and business as you demonstrate impact: taking on more complex campaigns, broadening your project leadership responsibilities and helping shape the team’s approach to fundraising. Exposure to senior stakeholders, multiple private markets strategies and high-profile projects offers a strong platform for development, in a fast growing part of the L&G business.

What you’ll be doing:

• Taking ownership of multiple concurrent private markets fundraising campaigns and high-profile projects, setting milestones, tracking deliverables and dependencies, and keeping execution on course
• Developing and maintaining campaign plans, timelines and governance frameworks, supporting efficient and consistent fundraising execution across strategies
• Coordinating cross-functional workstreams across Distribution, Investments, Product, Marketing, Legal, Compliance, Finance and Operations, aligning stakeholders and driving delivery
• Anticipating execution risks, bottlenecks and dependencies, resolving issues proactively and escalating decisions early to protect delivery timelines
• Enabling fundraising success by coordinating the development, maintenance and distribution of investor-facing materials, due diligence content and sales collateral
• Managing due diligence processes, maintaining investor data rooms and digital repositories, and ensuring timely, accurate responses to DDQs, RFIs, RFPs and other investor requests
• Putting AI-powered tools, automation and digital workflows to practical use to reduce manual effort, improve information management and standardise fundraising activities, while developing reporting, dashboards and operational metrics; applying sound judgement on confidentiality, data security and output accuracy
• Building strong stakeholder relationships, acting as the central coordination point for fundraising activity and leading governance meetings with clear decisions, owners and follow-through on deliverables

Who we’re looking for:

• Relevant experience in private markets, asset management or fundraising, with a good understanding of private markets investment products and the capital-raising process
• Exceptional organisation and prioritisation skills: the ability to bring structure to multiple projects, maintain clear plans and deadlines, and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced setting
• Knowledge of institutional investor due diligence, Salesforce CRM and fundraising technologies, investor data rooms, and fund launches or capital-raising activities, alongside a willingness to keep learning as the team and its priorities evolve
• Hands-on experience using AI-powered tools, automation platforms and digital workflows, with practical examples of improving productivity, streamlining processes or strengthening project execution
• The ability to identify repetitive tasks and turn them into scalable, technology-enabled solutions, with sound judgement on handling confidential information and checking AI-generated outputs for accuracy
• Proven project or programme management and problem-solving skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a proactive approach to anticipating issues and seeing actions through to completion
• The confidence to build effective relationships across functions and levels of seniority, communicate clearly, influence outcomes and keep stakeholders aligned on priorities and delivery
• A continuous-improvement mindset, with the initiative to challenge inefficient processes, implement better ways of working and help colleagues adopt them
