GLG is the world's insight network. We connect decision-makers with the knowledge they need to act with conviction — drawing on a global community of experts across every industry and discipline. Our Financial Services business in ANZ serves some of the most sophisticated investors in the region, spanning listed equities, asset management, and alternative investments.
We are looking for a Segment Leader to own our Financial Services business across Australia and New Zealand. This is a senior commercial leadership role with full revenue accountability for the segment — overseeing both our Business Development and Servicing teams, and sitting at the intersection of team leadership, client relationships, and revenue growth.
This is not a pure management role. We want someone who leads from the front: driving engagement with senior client stakeholders, opening doors, and setting the standard for how GLG shows up in the market. The right person brings deep credibility in ANZ capital markets — particularly listed equities — and knows how to translate that into a high-performing, cohesive team.
Commercial Performance
Full accountability for segment revenue against annual and long-range growth targets
Build and execute a segment business plan that the team understands, believes in, and can execute against
Drive pipeline discipline and account management rigour across BD and servicing — using data to identify opportunities, diagnose gaps, and convert activity into revenue
Manage a portfolio of flagship client relationships, including multi-million-dollar strategic accounts and cross-regional partnerships
Team Leadership
Lead, coach, and develop both the Business Development and Client Servicing teams — setting clear expectations, managing performance, and creating an environment where people grow
