CAREERS OVERVIEW

MEET OUR PEOPLE

• 

  “Eastspring offers employees the opportunity to move seamlessly within the organisation. I first joined over five years ago as a Marketing Manager, and have since had a number of roles within the business, including heading up new teams and consolidating others.

  My managers have always supported me, and hard work is always recognised: if you perform well, it’s acknowledged and there’s the chance to take on new challenges. My career has progressed exponentially during my time with Eastspring, and it’s been a great journey.

  It’s a warm and welcoming environment, with a culture that’s social and engaging. There’s plenty of healthy competition and inter-office activities, and it’s these little things, the small details, that make you feel part of a team.”

  “My career at Eastspring started with a six month secondment to Singapore from Mumbai. I had never been anywhere outside of India at that time and within three months I realised that the opportunity to travel would be an integral part of my life going forwards.

  15 years ago, as a trained accountant, I first joined Eastspring working in operations and IT, and since had the chance to move into finance and business analyst roles. Given my experience in different roles across the business, I was put forwards to lead the opening of a new office in Indonesia: COO, CFO and CTO – all my roles were being consolidated. Eastspring’s extensive global network offers new experiences and variety and allows me to continuously develop and hone my skills and expertise – I can’t imagine being anywhere else.”

  “Eastspring is truly a global company, enabling us to provide both local and global solutions for our clients. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to Korea, China, Hong Kong, London, Chicago, and every country offers a different perspective that informs our overall offering.

  There is a borderless approach to sharing thought leadership and insights from all the countries we work in, and this helps us develop relevant and unique products.

  At Eastspring everyone works with conviction. We don’t do something just because we can, we do it because we believe in it.”

  “I joined the organisation 14 years ago, at which time the Malaysian office consisted of a small team and we all had to pitch in. It felt really entrepreneurial. Today, we’ve grown considerably, but that original buzz and energy remains. 

  This industry is always evolving; there are always new regulations and changes – it ups the ante, keeping things interesting, and Eastspring offers me the opportunity to be creative in this environment.

  I’ve had the opportunity to travel considerably. Learning trips to India and Korea for example have been a great way to see first-hand how our local teams are innovating for their markets, and how they structure their products. We have a culture of knowledge sharing across the company, and by leveraging our expertise in local markets we can create relevant and unique solutions for our clients in Malaysia."

  “I joined Eastspring because I was looking to work for an Asian fund management company with a strong global footprint. In the four years that I’ve been with the organisation, my role has expanded from Southeast Asian institutional sales to covering a number of new markets.

  Eastspring believes in team-work. We are consultative and approach all decision making collectively, as a team. Even among our fund managers, we don’t have one ‘star manager’ – we have a team of stars. Our leaders support us, watch out for our blind spots and of course, challenge us. My manager has always been a great sparring partner – any issue I bring to her will be challenged, debated and thought through – which always means a better result. Our team-based culture means the whole organisation shares the same objectives and goals.”

  "I joined Prudential Asset Management (as we were known then) 15 years ago. I was attracted to the business due to the strong linkage to the Prudential Insurance business, which seemed to have enormous growth potential.

  I liked the entrepreneurial spirit and drive of the organisation, which I felt stemmed from the fact that the business was managed and coordinated in Asia, as opposed to reporting lines into London or New York, as is common with other companies in Asia.

  From my perspective, this creates a culture of local ownership, responsibility and accountability which drives better business outcomes for our clients. The business has continually managed to attract impressive, smart and motivated people which I attribute to our strong corporate culture. With our success there have been many challenges over the years. Engaging with colleagues and clients to resolve issues and find solutions, which work for all stakeholders has been immensely rewarding and often stretches me to the limit in many ways. Asia is such a dynamic environment that today’s solution will probably not apply tomorrow, so you constantly have to refresh your knowledge and thinking and then try to adapt this to solve the latest challenge."
