To enjoy and succeed in this role, you will have:

  • Detailed and up to date knowledge of legislation relating to both DB and DC pension arrangements.
  • Experience of working in a team with a collaborative, consultative approach.
  • The ability to juggle multiple tasks and plan and organise your workload effectively.
  • Exceptional communication skills, demonstrated through your ability to be clear and concise in communications with clients, members and colleagues.
  • The ability to work well as part of a team and lead by example, including aiding in the coaching and development of junior colleagues across the firm.
  • Able to produce work with a high level of accuracy, with a strong attention to detail.

Ideally, we would be looking for candidates to hold a professional qualification such as ACCA, ACA or CIMA (or be working towards one of these). However, we would also be open to applications from candidates who 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.
  • A collaborative and encouraging work environment where your thinking and ideas are encouraged.
  • On site mental health and wellbeing assistance.
  • A commitment to helping you develop both personally and professionally, with mentoring opportunities and access to our award-winning learning portal, Aspire.
