Job Requirements

The Role:

Are you an experienced Project Manager with defined benefit pensions administration experience?

As a Project Manager, you will be working on a wide range of large and complex projects in a client-facing role. Project span across the Pensions Administration remit, including implementations, benefit changes, pensions dashboard, GMPE and de-risking.

This role will ideally be aligned with an Aptia Office in the UK on a hybrid-working basis. Other flexible working options may be considered by exception.

What you’ll be doing:

  • End-to-end management of moderately complex to complex projects ensuring work is delivered on time, within budget and to a high level of client satisfaction
  • Development and maintenance of detailed, robust, high-quality risk plan and project plan including resources, scope, cost, assumptions, and dependencies – keeping plans updated through the lifecycle
  • Undertaking regular work stream and project meetings, documenting and following up on actions and risks identified. This will also include regular project assessments through toll gate reviews and health checks
  • Understanding the impact of scope changes and adjusting project plans and communication accordingly
  • Reviewing significant project proposals of high complexity and ambiguous parameters with high visibility and identifiable risk to the company, validating all project requirements, and providing recommended changes to the proposal, as appropriate
  • Cross-departmental resource management, negotiating resource requirements as needed internally vs conflicting priorities
  • Client-facing communication as needed, ensuring progress, risks and issues are communicated clearly and with a solutions-focussed approach
  • Assigning work to entry-level and support team members as required, ensuring support is given to adhere to departmental standards and procedures
  • Contributing to a culture of continuous improvement, actively recommending new standards and procedures based on project experience and results

What we’re looking for

  • Experienced Project Manager, with deep working knowledge of DB, DC and insured pension schemes. The combined experience of Trust and Insurance based work would be ideal
  • Experience managing pension administration projects
  • Excellent relationship-building and communication skills at all levels, both internally and externally
  • Structured and organised, able to prioritise simultaneous workloads effectively across multiple deadlines
  • A willingness to learn new skills and be adaptable to a changing environment
  • Strong business acumen with existing client-facing experience
  • May have a project management qualification (desirable) or be interested in working towards one
  • Strong working knowledge of MS Office, including Word, PowerPoint and Excel
