Index Portfolio Manager to Asset Management | SEB, Stockholm

Join SEB's high-performing equity index management team and contribute to delivering cost-efficient, transparent, and sustainable index solutions. We're looking for two Index Portfolio Managers to bring complementary skills and perspectives, empowering our continued growth and innovation.

Since SEB was founded in 1856, our focus on customers and long-term relationships has been at the heart of our success. We aim to drive positive change by providing capital to help everyone reach their goals and accelerate progress towards a sustainable tomorrow. As a leading financial services group in northern Europe, we'll help you grow and empower you to take on more responsibility to create a real difference. Welcome to SEB.

About the role:

As an Index Portfolio Manager, you will work with index-tracking equity portfolios for institutional and private investors. The role combines day-to-day portfolio management with responsibility for delivering portfolio returns in line with risk limits, mandates and client expectations, as well as contributing to portfolio-related decision-making and the ongoing development of investment processes.

You will also:

• Manage and optimize equity index portfolios across global markets
• Execute and follow up on portfolio rebalances, corporate actions and cash flows
• Contribute to and take responsibility for portfolio construction and implementation efficiency
• Work closely with trading, risk, sustainability and operations teams
• Contribute to continuous improvement of analytics, processes and investment workflows
• Support the development of tools, automation and scalable ways of working
• Contribute to product development and, when relevant, take an active role in communicating portfolio strategy, investment philosophy and process to clients and internal stakeholders in a transparent and trustworthy manner

The exact scope of the role will be shaped by your experience and strengths, but in both positions you will play an important part in developing the team, supporting clients and strengthening the platform over time

To thrive in this role, we believe you have:

We are primarily looking for candidates with relevant experience in portfolio management or related fields, and a strong interest in developing further within index portfolio management.

Across both profiles, we believe you:

• Have a strong analytical mindset and attention to detail
• Take a structured and pragmatic approach to problem-solving
• Are intellectually curious and motivated to learn in a complex investment environment
• Have an interest in financial markets, indexing and portfolio construction
• Are comfortable collaborating and actively contributing in a team setting
• Are interested in how data, automation and AI can improve investment processes

Experience from asset management, trading, index investing, quantitative analysis or similar fields is highly relevant. For more experienced candidates, a track record or demonstrated responsibility within portfolio management or related areas is considered a strong advantage. Equally important are strong analytical capabilities, sound judgement and the ambition to develop in a dynamic investment environment.

What we offer:

• At SEB Asset Management, you will have the opportunity to work in an international environment and contribute to solutions for a broad range of clients:

• Be part of a collaborative team with deep expertise in index and quantitative portfolio management, working closely with experienced professionals across the platform
• Play a key role in further developing portfolios, processes and the broader investment platform over time
• Gain exposure to the full investment value chain and work with colleagues, stakeholders and clients across markets and functions
• Work in an inclusive and knowledge-driven environment where different perspectives are encouraged
• Benefit from flexible ways of working and a strong focus on long-term development
