Beat the new year rush… grab a newly created job for Christmas, why wait for 2024 before making resolutions, unwrap that perfect job today with this amazing new role for an in-house scheme support pensions specialist (outsourced administration). With potential succession planning in multiple directions, this is the gift that just keeps giving year on year….

You will be the core support to the in-house Pensions Management Team, who support the different specialisms within the team including operations, strategy, trustee secretariat, investments, communications and membership support.

Your team provides support to employees and pension scheme members, Trustees, the external administrator of the scheme, the Supervisory Board of the Plan and is responsible for key relationships externally, as well as with company HR Business Partners, Reward Managers and Consultants and IT stakeholders. The Pensions Management Team are a team of 7 people, and you’ll report to the Pensions Liaison Manager, but will be working with the whole of the Pensions Management team. Initially you will learn how to support your manager as a major part of the role, and other managers on their various workloads/projects, then with time hopefully you will enjoy certain areas over others with a view to where you might move up in the team long-term when managers move on.

You will need to be organised with a high level of self-motivation and the ability to work under pressure remotely, as this role is mainly homeworking, with just once a month on site visit to the office required (travel expenses paid if not local travel to work). You will be a confident communicator, able to work with different stakeholders internally and externally, with proven past problem-solving skills and initiative. At this stage in your career a good grounding knowledge of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook is expected. You may have progressed via the administration route, or work in the technical team, perhaps secretarial support, or you could even be a trainee consultant who feels working in-house better suits them. As long as you have worked within and understand occupational pensions at a Senior Pensions Administrator/Team Leader/Trainee consultant level, we think you could undertake this role and thrive.

Stop! before you whizz back to feeling festive and thinking I will wait until 2024 before I really start my new job, and ask yourself how often do I see a pensions role at this support level, offering the chance to learn multiple disciplines in pensions? Rarely is the answer, so please do give such a super role your full consideration and get in touch ASAP.
