Ideally, we would be looking for candidates to hold a professional qualification such as an accreditation from the Pension Management Institute (or be working towards this). However, we would also be open to applications from candidates who don't meet all of the above requirements but could bring a knowledge of the UK pensions market from relevant industry experience.

A more detailed list of requirements for this position is available within the role profile – which is available on request.

In addition to a competitive salary and access to our profit share scheme, we offer:

A flexible selection of employee benefits, so you can choose a package that best matches your lifestyle and needs.
