Standard Life to axe 70 IT jobs in Edinburgh

The firm said it hoped to make the reductions through voluntary redundancy at its offices throughout the city.

It said the changes would “enhance how we deliver technology”, react to market demand and offer the best service to customers.

Mark Dixon, chief information officer at Standard Life said: “We believe this new model increases our ability to offer the best service to all customers of Standard Life, allowing us to react to market demand and to flex our support to meet their needs.”
