Company Description

Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor.

We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders.

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.

L&G Institutional Retirement looks after around 700,000 institutional customers who have their retirement benefits secured with us. Operating continuously in the UK market from our entrance in 1987, we are the UK’s longest-running insurer.

Our Institutional Retirement division provides pension risk transfer (PRT) solutions for UK and US defined benefit (DB) schemes, and reinsurance solutions from our global hub in Bermuda. We work with companies, DB pension schemes and their advisors to help them secure and protect scheme members’ retirement benefits.

Joining us means you’ll support customers’ financial security in retirement; help companies to settle their pension liabilities and focus on growing their businesses; and enable investment for the long term to back our pension promises.

Job Description

Join a collaborative and forward-thinking team as a Software Test Manager, where your leadership will help shape the future of digital transformation in the pensions industry. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a hands-on role, values quality, and enjoys working in a regulated, data-sensitive environment. If you’re passionate about testing and ready to influence at a senior level, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading and mentoring a team of QA engineers to foster a culture of quality and collaboration
  • Defining and implementing test strategies for pensions-related systems
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to define test requirements and acceptance criteria
  • Participating in test design, execution, and automation activities
  • Managing testing across digital, regulatory, and legacy migration projects
  • Integrating testing into the development lifecycle alongside product and engineering teams
  • Overseeing defect triage and reporting to ensure timely resolution
  • Tracking and reporting on quality metrics to support audit readiness

Qualifications

Who we're looking for:

  • Demonstrated experience in software testing and people management
  • Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and automation frameworks
  • Hands-on experience with Jenkins, Jira, and Agile/Scrum practices
  • Ability to work in a regulated environment with a focus on data integrity
  • Comfortable working directly with test tools, frameworks, and code
  • Experience in the pensions, financial services, or insurance sectors (preferred)
  • Familiarity with performance, security testing, or AI-driven testing tools (a plus)

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

  • The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
  • Generous pension contribution
  • Life assurance
  • Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
  • At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
  • Competitive family leave
  • Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
  • There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
  • In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

Additional Information

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all.

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
