Overview:
We are one of the UK's most reputable, well regarded and continually growing Pension administration firms Our clients include household names; some of the biggest and most complex Pension schemes out there, and many of whom have been with us for a number of years

Following years of continual growth - how many firms can boast that after the last few years? - we are looking to recruit an experienced Senior or Principal Pensions Administrators in our Edinburgh office, where you will join one of our established team and act as a key point of contact for colleagues and clients when it comes to the accurate, timely administration of their Defined Benefit Pension schemes.

To do this, we're very keen to speak to individuals that have experience of administering Defined Benefit (aka Final Salary) Pensions schemes, and can demonstrate not only experience relating to coaching and training others and perhaps deputising for management regularly, but who also have an eye for detail, a collaborative working approach and a willingness to get involved in all aspects of the administrative process as required.

In return, let us have an opportunity to tell you all about our unrivaled training programme, the success that we have had in promoting and advancing so many people over the years, and what we can offer you

We are open to applicants that are looking for full time or part time roles - we will do all that we can to be as accommodating as we need to be for you - as this role is open to those currently in a Principal Pensions Administrator or Team Leader role, or those in a Senior Pensions Administrator position (or similar) looking to 'step up' into a Principal post..
