Run complex pension schemes. Lead from the front. Shape the future of governance.

This is a senior, visible role for a pensions professional who thrives on responsibility and variety. You’ll sit at the centre of multiple occupational pension schemes, acting as trusted adviser, scheme secretary, project lead and problem-solver — with real influence over outcomes, not just processes.

What you’ll do
• Lead outsourced support for in-house pensions teams
• Act as Scheme Secretary (permanent or interim)
• Own day-to-day client relationships and adviser engagement
• Manage governance, compliance, budgets and business plans across a portfolio of schemes
• Lead complex pensions projects and resolve issues before they escalate
• Drive quality, profitability and continuous improvement

Beyond the day job
• Build strong professional networks and spot growth opportunities
• Contribute thought leadership through blogs, articles and client seminars
• Influence service development and future propositions

People & progression
• Mentor and support colleagues
• Line manage where appropriate
• Keep your technical edge sharp in a fast-moving regulatory landscape

You’ll bring
• A solid occupational pensions background (DB & DC)
• Experience in pensions management, scheme secretarial, administration or project delivery
• Strong technical knowledge, commercial awareness and project discipline
• Confidence translating complex pensions issues into clear, practical advice

Why this role?
Because it’s not just about keeping schemes compliant — it’s about leading, improving and being trusted to make things work.
