Job description

Great opportunity to join our Pensions Data Solutions Team as a Pensions Lead Data Consultant. Our data services span a broad range of clients with different UK pension administration operations, and our solutions are delivered within the team, often in conjunction with other WTW business units or alongside third parties.

We have an increasing demand for individuals who understand the legacy Defined Benefit pension environment and how member data is held, processed, and used by pension administrators. We need individuals with technical expertise to help develop and implement solutions for a wide range of pension schemes. The candidate will be client-facing and will work closely with technical leads, project managers, and other specialists within the team. They will be responsible for delivering quality Data Solutions services for our clients and will play a leading role in various technical projects, ensuring successful delivery and implementation. Excellence, client satisfaction, and good commercial outcomes are critical to our success.

The Role

• As a client-facing project lead, you will work directly with clients to understand their business requirements so that data solutions can be tailored to meet these objectives.
• Deliver advice and a range of deliverables to Pension Managers, Trustee boards, and other key client contacts, liaising effectively across various seniority levels with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Engage collaboratively with Data Solutions leads and team members to deliver quality outcomes for clients.
• Prepare effective data strategies and project approaches, leading the team to deliver against the plan to meet client requirements.
• Help improve and evolve processes and deliverables across Data Solutions service lines.
• Build effective working relationships with administrators, actuaries, legal advisers, and client representatives.

In addition to client consulting, the candidate should be comfortable with business development and sales fundamentals, showing aptitude and enthusiasm to grow our business and develop their commercial skills. Attention to detail in financial areas, including scoping, management of time and budgets, and adherence to billing practices, is essential. You will be expected to promote best practices and bring new ideas to address client needs with a sharp business focus, maintaining quality throughout the project lifecycle. You should be self-motivated to meet deadlines on multiple client projects in a fast-paced environment.

What can we offer you?

The opportunity to further develop your skills in a fast-growing business as part of a diverse, dynamic, and collaborative team. In return, you will be rewarded with a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including a pension scheme, life insurance, medical insurance, eye care vouchers, and flexible benefits such as critical illness cover, dental cover, and many other options.

This role offers a hybrid working model and can be based out of our offices in London, Reigate, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, or Edinburgh.
