Strong analytical and research capability, with the ability to interpret complex qualitative and quantitative information and present clear, evidence-based conclusions.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the credibility to engage, challenge and influence senior stakeholders.
Core Responsibilities:
Provide subject matter expertise across trust-based pension schemes, this requires an understanding of governance, administration, actuarial, investment, legal, and service delivery models.
Research and evaluate pension providers, monitoring market developments and changes within the pensions sector.
Conduct detailed analysis of pension providers' service structures, including market segmentation, positioning, pricing strategies, services offered, and delivery models.
Lead and contribute to strategic reviews and investigative projects aimed at improving pension provision and member outcomes for clients.
Present findings, insights and recommendations clearly to trustee boards and senior stakeholders, managing challenge where recommendations carry significant cost or change implications.
Develop and recommend practical, evidence-based solutions delivering optimal outcomes, ensuring recommendations are achievable and sustainable.
Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to support the implementation of agreed pension solutions.
