In the shadows of the pensions world, a rare discipline endures.
Not quite actuarial, not quite admin. Half logic, half sorcery. This is the obscure and oddly satisfying art of calculations.
The successful candidate will work deep in the molten core of legacy DB schemes—transforming archaic rule sets, career average horrors, and final salary fever dreams into actual, payable benefits. Not just close. Not just “pretty much.” But right. Defensible. Elegant, even.
Prior experience in calculations is welcome but not essential. Exposure to pension calcs—whether building, reviewing or simply wondering why everything takes 17 steps—is a strong start. Full training and support will be provided, along with the chance to develop real technical depth in an in-demand niche.
This is a team where people know the difference between CARE and final salary, where GMP isn’t just a vague threat, and where a clean spreadsheet layout is considered a small act of greatness. Excel will be the core tool. SQL is a bonus, but curiosity, logic, and attention to detail are non-negotiable.
Remote working is standard. Flexibility is offered. And the work—while occasionally mind-bending—is respected, valued, and fully backed by a knowledgeable team that won’t shrug and say “just fudge it.”
A role for someone who enjoys spotting the thing that everyone else missed. The assumption nobody tested. The rounding rule that’s been wrong since 2009. The kind of person who quietly enjoys seeing a calculation pass first time—and enjoys it even more when it doesn’t, but they catch the flaw before anyone else.
This is a chance to smelt gold from the mess—and be paid handsomely for doing so. In Sterling, gold bullion transportation is logistically complex..
Applications welcome from those ready to step into something more technical, more rewarding, and marginally less soul-crushing than whatever’s currently ruining Tuesday afternoons.
Because somewhere out there, someone’s applying late retirement factors to active members... and no one’s stopped them.
Yet.
