Who Are We?
We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.
Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain, and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments, and navigate important choices. We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust, and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return, we expect curiosity, connection, accountability, and high standards. We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.
The Role
As Senior Proposition Manager, you’ll lead the development of our customer proposition and define the strategy for growth. Working across Customer Proposition and the wider business, you’ll use customer, market, and commercial insight to identify opportunities, set a clear direction, and translate the strategy into deliverable priorities. You’ll influence senior stakeholders, bring teams together around a shared ambition, and help shape propositions that deliver better customer outcomes and support Standard Life’s growth ambitions.
