As a private partnership, we believe our ownership structure fosters a long-term view that aligns our perspectives with those of our clients.
The Equity Product Management (EPM) team is a global function within the Client Platform, responsible for shaping and executing the commercial strategy of Wellington’s equity franchise. This includes stewardship of a large‑scale global equity platform exceeding USD 615 billion in assets under management. The team bridges between the investment and distribution functions to translate investment insight into compelling commercial propositions which align with clients’ targeted outcomes, to support asset growth and retention.
EPM serves as a primary external interface with clients, prospects, and consultants, while also stewarding the commercial and business management of equity portfolios. In addition to product positioning, EPM plays a critical role in portfolio governance, pricing, investment team succession, and crisis‑response communications related to major market, macro, or regulatory events.
The Head of EPM is accountable for the strategy, development, and full commercial lifecycle of the firm’s equity platform—with clear ownership of commercial outcomes for the equity franchise. With the goal of prioritizing smart growth, and new channel penetration the role demands a strategic focus on the structural trends of different client channels in their equity allocation intentions along with close partnership with the investment platform to assess, map, develop and prioritize areas of greatest commercial focus.
The role serves as a key integrator across the Client-, Investment-, and Infrastructure platforms to ensure consistency of decision‑making, sequencing, and messaging across complex and sensitive initiatives.
As Head of EPM, the role works closely with business leaders and investment personnel to ensure the equity product strategy is intentionally designed, insight‑driven, and aligned with client/market need. The role also has direct leadership responsibility for a global team of approximately 40+ product management professionals.
As a senior leader, the Head of EPM is expected to lead, develop, and motivate product management talent; foster a culture of thoughtful, disciplined risk‑taking; and build durable commercial capabilities through rigorous feedback, reflection, and continuous improvement. He/she is also tasked with continuously assessing the structure and organization of talent within the team, ensuring scalability and commercial alignment with client allocation decision structures, while harvesting a culture of collaboration, trust and excellence.
This role embodies Wellington’s cultural mantra—Client, Firm, Self—requiring intellectual rigor, mature judgment, and a deep commitment to partnership. The Head of Equity Product Management is expected to operate as a senior enterprise leader, combining investment credibility, commercial acumen, and people leadership to strengthen and scale the global equity franchise. The role requires comfort operating in ambiguity, making high‑stakes decisions with incomplete information, and balancing near‑term commercial pressures with long‑term franchise health.
The ideal candidate will bring significant experience in equity product management, investment leadership, or a closely related senior investment role within an institutional asset manager, along with a proven ability to operate effectively at the intersection of investments, clients, and firm strategy. The role requires strong judgment, strategic clarity, and the ability to influence outcomes across a complex global organization. Demonstrated experience leading through periods of market stress, performance headwinds, or organizational change is strongly preferred.
