Lead where it matters most.

We’re looking for a senior pensions expert to take ownership of complex medical retirement and pension governance across a large, multi-organisation environment. This is a rare opportunity to operate at executive level, shaping policy, influencing national conversations, and ensuring fair, compliant outcomes in some of the most sensitive and high-impact cases.

You’ll act as the authority on LGPS matters, leading on complex casework, medical appeals, and regulatory compliance. You’ll advise senior leaders, oversee Pension Boards, drive legislative change, and refine operating models—while ensuring a consistent, high-quality advisory service.

This role demands deep expertise, credibility, and the confidence to operate autonomously in a highly regulated and complex environment. You’ll bring significant experience in public sector pensions, a track record of handling complex governance challenges, and the ability to influence at the highest level.
If you’re ready to step into a visible, impactful leadership role where your expertise will directly shape outcomes and policy—this is it.
