About M&G
Our purpose is to give everyone real confidence to put their money to work. With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions.
Our two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.
Through telling it like it is, owning it now, and moving it forward together with care and integrity; we are creating an exceptional place to work for exceptional talent.
§ Decompose complex insurance, asset-management and finance processes and identify deterministic, AI-assisted and human-controlled steps.
§ Produce current-state and target-state architectures, architecture decision records and non-functional requirements for automation and AI solutions.
§ Select the appropriate automation mechanism for each problem — rules engine, workflow, RPA, traditional ML, LLM, RAG or human decision — and justify the choice.
§ Design and build AI solutions using enterprise Copilot capabilities and direct API calls to the leading LLM providers, with a provider-independent abstraction layer.
§ Engineer secure, permission-aware retrieval (RAG) over enterprise knowledge, preserving source-system permissions and information barriers.
§ Integrate solutions with systems of record — recordkeeping platforms, Salesforce and Oracle Fusion — via APIs, events and controlled RPA where APIs are unavailable.
§ Design bounded-autonomy agentic workflows in which a deterministic orchestrator owns process state, approvals, audit and compensation.
§ Establish AI evaluation frameworks (golden datasets, groundedness, hallucination and regression testing) linked to business KPIs.
§ Embed responsible-AI, security and financial-services controls: segregation of duties, maker-checker, materiality thresholds, explainability and evidence retention.
§ Stand up LLMOps/MLOps — versioning, monitoring, cost/FinOps controls, fallback routing and incident management — for production operation.
§ Baseline processes and prove value realisation using BI, analytics and process mining
