Programme Overview:
Through the roll out of a global transformation programme, LaSalle is redesigning the operating model of its Asset & Portfolio Management (A&PM) teams. The programme is organised around three interconnected workstreams, sponsored by the Global Head of A&PM Transformation and coordinated by the central Programme & Transition Management team in London:
Org Design – capability model design, location strategy, role and structure definition, regional org blueprints, and the Investment Management Services (IMS) & JBS playbook.
Process & Service Delivery – due diligence, decision and transition of activities; process mapping and decision-gate workshops; new capability/process design; oversight of IMS and JBS (offshore) transitions; automation pathway coordination.
Data, Tech & AI – the platform underpinning the new operating model, including data governance, AI readiness and enablement (including Claude), controls/audit capability, platform and tooling strategy, and analytics capability building.
Each workstream generates a significant change management requirement for the people and teams affected, coordinated through the programme's Change & Adoption strand (stakeholder engagement, communications, AI adoption and training, regional change network, resistance management).
The programme is now moving from design into regional due diligence, detailed design and implementation. Singapore has been identified as a key regional hub for Asia Pacific (alongside Tokyo), and this role is being created to provide dedicated, on-the-ground programme capacity to support the region through this phase.
Role Description:
This is a hands-on project and change role, based in Singapore, acting as the programme's "person on the ground" for Asia Pacific. The Europe-based programme team sets design direction and owns the global workstreams; this role delivers locally. The individual works day-to-day as an integrated member of that team, while maintaining a dotted-line relationship to the Regional COO & GC, Asia Pacific, and working in partnership with the VP Operations, Asia Pacific, to ensure regional priorities, sensitivities and readiness are properly reflected in programme delivery.
The individual will split their time across due diligence, process re-engineering, implementation and local change management as the programme moves through the phases in the region — this is not a narrowly-scoped role, and as the only programme team member in the region, the successful candidate will need to be comfortable picking up whichever of these activities is the priority at a given point in time.
