Do you want make history? Pensions in the UK are changing and in Royal Mail we are proud to be the first company in the country to offer a new type of pension to our colleagues - the Royal Mail Collective Pension Plan. If you are a talented, ambitious pensions professional, with the drive and determination to succeed, then we want to hear from you.

We have some exciting opportunities, for the right people, to join our award-winning Pensions Service Centre team to grow their careers and be at the forefront of the biggest change to UK pensions for many years.

As a Senior Pensions Administrator, you will be joining an enthusiastic and talented new team who will calculate benefits for the members of our new Pension Plan.

You’ll have the freedom to develop and deliver improvements to the services that we provide, in line with our Continuous Improvement and PASA Gold Standard frameworks.
You’ll also own your own development and have the autonomy to plan your own workload to meet our service standards.

You’ll be an experienced and professionally qualified pensions practitioner, who has a strong understanding of UK pensions and experience of delivering a professional, member focused service - for either DB or DC pension schemes (or both) - and who thrives on being part of a high performing team and helping your colleagues grow.

You’ll have proven planning and organisational skills and be passionate about delivering a member focused service to a high standard; and you’ll have great people skills and be able to engage effectively and confidently with clients, stakeholders, and colleagues.

If that’s you, then we want to meet you.
