Pensions Risk Management Specialist (Subject Matter Expert) - Hybrid Working

Royal Mail Pensions is in the process of expanding its team by incorporating De-Risking Pensions and Data Specialists. This initiative involves forming a new unit within the Pensions Service Centre (PSC), dedicated to providing thorough reporting and analytical insights for the Royal Mail Pension Plan.

Role Overview
As a Pensions Specialist, you will cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the data maintained and how it correlates with the various processes and calculations throughout the members' lifecycle in the RMPP. You will evaluate the reliability of the data stored in the Pension Administration system, enabling you to generate system extracts and design tests, while also supporting Bulk Data migrations and reconciliations with external entities for the RMPP.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Designing checks for data integrity, completeness, and accuracy, generating reports, and providing relevant extracts or summaries of the data with clear explanations.

- Analyzing and comparing extensive data extracts to summarize information for decision-making and necessary rectification actions.

- Collaborating with colleagues in a structured manner, ensuring all discrepancies are documented, thoroughly investigated, and resolved within set deadlines, while providing regular updates on progress.

- Working in partnership with the De-Risking team and the broader Pensions Service Centre to identify solutions for any outstanding pension benefits, record-keeping, and administrative processes, facilitating post-migration calculations and payments of any residual benefits in RMPP.

- Producing and testing any required system change requests, including specified reports under contract (e.g., triennial valuations), and ensuring the final migration to selected insurance providers and/or advisors is executed smoothly.

- Collaborating with partners on Bulk Data Migration, validation, and reconciliation to third-party systems.

- Preparing and defining bulk mailing extracts for individual Member Statements and addressing member inquiries; providing clear and straightforward explanations of how results were derived.

Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate will possess a robust understanding of Defined Benefit structures, particularly those with complex benefit schemes.

Additionally, you should demonstrate:

- The capability to navigate ambiguity and provide evidence of effective solution generation.

- The ability to independently plan your work and operate without constant supervision.

- Proven experience as a strong team player, whether working virtually or in person, while also being able to work autonomously using your initiative.

- Well-honed numerical and analytical skills, with experience in managing large volumes of intricate data.

- Highly developed communication and influencing skills, with a background in engaging with senior internal and external stakeholders, as well as professional advisors.

- Proficient PC skills, particularly in Advanced Excel, with experience in handling large data files, queries, and validation; familiarity with Microsoft Access is desirable.
