Oliver James
Pensions Project Manager
London / Regions (1 day/week in local office)
Up to £80,000
We are currently recruiting on behalf of a leading global consultancy for an experienced Project Manager to join their growing pensions team.
This role sits within the consultancy arm of the business and offers the opportunity to work on a wide range of complex Defined Benefit pension projects for large, high profile clients across multiple industries.
The position will focus on delivering pension change projects such as GMP equalisation, buy in and buy out readiness, benefit rectification, scheme mergers and wind ups. You will take ownership of projects end to end, working closely with clients, administrators, actuaries and internal teams to ensure successful delivery.
This is a client facing role where you will be trusted to manage stakeholders, lead project discussions and drive outcomes in often complex and data heavy environments. Alongside client work, there will also be opportunities to contribute to internal improvement initiatives and help shape how projects are delivered across the wider team.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in UK Defined Benefit pensions, with experience delivering projects within a pensions administration, consultancy or actuarial environment. You should be comfortable managing multiple workstreams, navigating ambiguity and taking a proactive approach to problem solving.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with a track record of delivering projects to time and budget. Formal project management qualifications such as Prince2, APM or similar are beneficial but not essential.
This role offers a salary of up to £80,000 plus a 20 percent bonus and a strong wider benefits package. The business operates a flexible hybrid model, with just one day per week required in your nearest office. Locations are available across the UK.
