why join wpp IM CO?

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a regulated investment management company from the ground up.

As we move from our current pooling arrangements to an FCA-authorised firm by March 2026, early joiners will play a defining role in building the companys capabilities, culture and direction.

You will be part of a focused team that combines the mission-led purpose of public service with the professionalism and innovation of the investment management industry. Every role contributes to a shared goal: to deliver strong investment outcomes while mobilising capital for the long-term prosperity of Wales.

WPP IM Co is being built for the future - resilient, responsible, and rooted in public value. We are building a team defined by professionalism, collaboration and purpose - people motivated by both investment excellence and the wider benefit their work can deliver.
