He will succeed Charlotte Jones, whose departure was announced back in February.
Mepham is a qualified chartered accountant with over 23 years' experience in the financial services sector. Before his nine years at Schroders, he held a number of senior roles at PwC, where he worked with many of the firm's asset management, insurance and banking clients.
Chief executive Andrew Formica said: "I am very pleased that Wayne is joining us. He has a long and successful track record in financial services and in particular, has deep experience of the asset management industry from both a domestic and global perspective. He is a strong leader with a wide range of relevant expertise including technical accounting, regulation and commercial development and I have no doubt that he will be an excellent addition to our team.
"I would also like to thank Charlotte and the rest of the finance team for their continued efforts, particularly in helping plan for a smooth transition to her successor."
Mepham said: "I am very excited by this opportunity. Jupiter has a great team, clear strategic direction and an incredibly strong brand, but with significant potential to grow its franchise further, and I very much look forward to getting started."
