Background

About Robert Bates

As a Fund Contracts Negotiation Manager at Aegon UK, I oversee the negotiation, production, and management of my pipeline of fund contracts and templates for our retail and insured negotiations. I also review fund documentation and provide SME support for fund launches and changes where required. I have successfully negotiated and delivered multiple contracts with complex and bespoke clauses, ensuring compliance and alignment with our business objectives, regulatory requirements and risk appetite. I have a strong background in retail operations, having worked as a Team Manager at Aegon for over four years previously, where I led a team of 12 staff and managed the end-to-end money out and customer contact processes, with focus on key account management, bespoke process and customer experience improvement. I have developed excellent interpersonal skills and a talent for motivation and creating a successful working environment. Additionally, I have also completed various training and development programs, which demonstrates my commitment to continuous learning and improvement. My goal is to further enhance my skills and knowledge in fund management contract negotiation, relationship management and business development, whilst contributing to the growth and success of where I am. Ambitious, adaptive, tenacious, calculated and caring. My 5 traits to my success.
