People are living longer and we're excited by the opportunities this brings to help people live their best lives. We're here for everyone who wants to make the most of their time on the planet and leave it a little better than they found it - however grand or humble their ambitions. We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments.

At Aegon, we strive in creating a diverse organisation that plays a meaningful role in driving greater equity, inclusion and belonging.

You'll be an inspirational leader who will take our member communications strategy to the next level. This is a role which combines great leadership with deep industry expertise and excellent presentational skills to help members of our key workplace clients engage with and understand their retirement savings.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Team Leadership and oversight including workload and escalation management for the wider team.
• Identifying the communication objectives and creating tailored communication programmes to meet the client's needs, working closely with the Client Relationship Director and considering the full range of communication media - which will include digital and face to face member presentations to large audiences.
• Pro-actively owning the creative development of the DC communication service and strategy.
• Working with our award-winning Pension Geeks engagement specialists to deliver Geeks TV sessions, playing a key role in both the designing and presenting of content.
• Supporting RFP responses and participating in pitches to both secure new and retain existing schemes.
• Ensuring a strong governance framework with high standards in QS sampling and identifying and exploring process improvements.
• Act as an SME stakeholder for all key Marketing and Investment initiatives.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Leadership and management experience.
• Excellent communication and presentational skills including pitching experience.
• A strong understanding of the auto-enrolment, Master Trust and contract based and scheme default investment options and how to support employers with their duties, in particular around member retirement options.
• Experience in designing, running and measuring communication programmes.
• The ability to apply creativity and identify new ideas to meet the needs of clients.
• Good planning and organisation capability with strong project management skills.
• Evidence of relationship management experience and working with clients.
• A strong track record in achieving objectives/targets and meeting deadlines.
• A sound knowledge of Microsoft Office and PowerPoint.
