About Future Group
Future Group is not your traditional financial services company – we're a collective of super funds and services committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow. When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.
We are looking for someone to join our purpose-led high-growth scale-up as a Senior Portfolio Manager. The role exists to support Future Group's mission of shifting capital into sustainable investments by ensuring our public market portfolios and investment options are positioned to deliver strong performance outcomes for members while advancing a future worth retiring into. And the best bit, you’ll get to work with some fantastic work mates! You'll join our recently established Public Markets team, a growing group of investment professionals responsible for managing portfolios across equities, fixed income and cash. Together, we're building the investment capability, tools and approaches needed to deliver high-quality outcomes for members, while challenging traditional thinking about how superannuation money can be invested to create positive change.
Future Group values diverse lived experience and identities, and we strongly encourage applications from people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, those with caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, with disabilities, who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those who face social exclusion due to their social class.
We recognise that the recruitment journey may present unique challenges for trans and gender diverse folk, and we are committed to ensuring an inclusive and accessible recruitment process for all. We will happily make any reasonable adjustments to accommodate diverse needs, so if there is anything we can do to support you at any stage of your application, please let us know.
