Job description

About the role

The Pensions Management Consulting (PMC) team in PwC works with clients to establish and maintain effective pension scheme operations and governance processes.

Pension services exist in an ever-changing and challenging environment. Against a backdrop of legislative change, regulatory requirements, and increasing pressure on company balance sheets, the governance and administration of these arrangements have had to constantly adapt as Trustees and sponsoring employers seek to control costs and operational risk.

Working as part of the broader Workforce: Reward, Employment & Pensions network, the Pensions Management Consulting team is a client-facing team with deep specialist skills and expertise over the spectrum of pensions change projects including outsourcing, administration contract reviews, target operating model design, software selection and implementation, data analysis, process re-engineering, implementing operational change, governance and risk management, and benchmarking.

We continue to work with the biggest names in the industry in the private sector as well as playing an instrumental role in the development of pension services in the public sector. In the private sector, we've been engaged by a number of high-profile clients.

What your day will look like:

• Help clients deal with legislative requirements such as workplace pension reforms, GMP reconciliation, and preparation for Pensions Dashboards.

• Achieve increased levels of efficiency and cost saving across client operations.

• Help them to deliver an outstanding experience to their members.

• We also have an increasing international client base covering America, Europe, Asia, and Africa with a strong ambition to grow and raise our profile in these global markets.

This position will require strong pensions technical and client-facing skills. We are looking for candidates with a strong track record of delivery across a range of pensions projects and the ability to be adaptable to meet changing client demands.

This role is for you if:

• You are PMI qualified or working towards qualification, with significant pensions knowledge and experience in large-scale pension change projects.

• You possess a Prince 2 Qualification (or international equivalent) or have equivalent work experience, including international candidates.

• You have proven client management and consulting skills, with strong analytical, problem-solving abilities, and excellent presentation and report writing skills.

• You are familiar with trust and/or contract-based pension arrangements, and experienced in change management.

• You are willing to engage in business development, with a proven network of contacts and success in delivering proposals and pitches.

What you'll receive from us:

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognizing and rewarding you fairly for your contributions.

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home, and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
