Job Description

The role sits within Product Development, the function responsible for the end‑to‑end development of Active Exchange Traded Funds (Active ETFs) at Allianz Global Investors. Product Development plays a central role in shaping the Active ETF platform, covering product design, structuring, launch readiness and the ongoing evolution of the range.

With the launch of AllianzGI’s Active ETF (AETF) platform, Product Development has assumed responsibility for Capital Market activities related to Active ETFs. Capital Markets is a strategic pillar of the Active ETF operating model, ensuring that products are tradable, liquid and efficiently priced, and that distribution teams and clients are supported with clear guidance on liquidity, execution, and market functioning.

This role offers a rare opportunity to help build and scale critical capability within AllianzGI’s Active ETF Platform. You will play a foundational role in developing in‑house expertise, processes, and market intelligence.

The position is intentionally build-out orientated. While starting with hands-on execution and close collaboration across teams, the role is designed to grow in scope, influence, and responsibility as in-house capital markets capabilities mature. The objective is to setup Capital Markets responsibilities and establish them as a core, scalable capability within Product Development, closely connected to Distribution, Trading and Operations.

• Develop internal processes, documentation and know‑how for Capital Markets activities related to Active ETFs, supporting the transition to an in‑house operating model
