Head of Equity Product Management

About the role

Wellington Management offers comprehensive investment management capabilities that span nearly all segments of the global capital markets. Our investment solutions, tailored to the unique return and risk objectives of institutional clients in more than 60 countries, draw on a robust body of proprietary research and a collaborative culture that encourages independent thought and healthy debate. 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 the strategy, positioning, and long‑term scalability of Wellington's equity franchise. The team partners closely with portfolio managers to translate investment insight into compelling client propositions, ensure investment and regulatory integrity, and support durable asset growth. 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, partner succession, and crisis‑response communication related to major market, macro, or regulatory events. Reporting to the Head of the Client Platform, the Head of Equity Product Management is accountable for the strategy, development, and full lifecycle of the firm's equity investment vehicles-with clear ownership of commercial outcomes for the equity franchise, prioritizing revenue, net client growth, and new channel penetration (particularly in Wealth). This role works in close partnership with Investment Platform leadership to define and execute long‑term equity strategy and lead portfolio manager transitions. The role also collaborates closely with regional Client Group leaders to convert investment strength into measurable business results, ensuring alignment between EPM strategy, distribution execution, and firm‑wide priorities. The role serves as a key integrator across investments, risk, pricing, governance, and client teams, ensuring consistency of decision‑making, sequencing, and messaging across complex and sensitive initiatives. As a senior leader, the Head of EPM is expected to lead, develop, and retain top Investment Director talent; foster a culture of thoughtful, disciplined risk‑taking; and build durable commercial capability through rigorous feedback, reflection, and continuous improvement. As Head of Equity Product Management, the role works closely with business leaders, senior investors, and quantitative partners to ensure the equity product strategy is intentionally designed, insight‑driven, and aligned with each portfolio manager's philosophy and competitive edge. This is a highly visible role, contributing meaningfully to the firm's investment dialogue and overall risk culture.
