- Accurate and timely collation and provision of Benefits data for internal and external reporting requirements (for example executive benefits for inclusion in the plc Annual Report).
- Management of the renewals and re-broking of UK insured benefits (life assurance, private medical, critical illness etc).
- Supporting the Head of Pensions & Benefits in the oversight of other UK benefits programmes. Includes managing benefit reviews, supplier reviews, new benefit implementations and changes of supplier.
- Delivery of other ad-hoc pension & benefit projects as required.

Knowledge

Personal attributes / skills
- Excellent organisational and planning skills.
- Able to work independently and take ownership of tasks, while recognising the need for appropriate review / oversight.
- Able to communicate and work within a team effectively.

We have a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture at M&G plc, underpinned by our policies and our employee-led networks who provide networking opportunities, advice and support for the diverse communities our colleagues represent.
