Our client, a leading Consultancy, is seeking a Pensions Data Consultant to join its growing Pensions Data team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Pensions Actuary, Nearly Qualified Actuary, or a stop-studier who has qualified by experience with strong DB technical knowledge who enjoys working on complex projects and wants a role combining technical delivery, client advisory work and project leadership.

You’ll work across a varied portfolio of strategic data projects, including buy-in/buy-out readiness, GMP rectification and equalisation, benefit rectification, data cleansing and scheme reconstruction. You’ll also have the opportunity to work closely with Actuarial, administration and risk transfer teams, as well as attending client meetings and helping to shape project methodologies and approaches.

Why join this company?

• Join a growing specialist team working on a wide range of high-impact pensions data projects.
• Work with a varied client base across different types of schemes and projects.
• Develop your consulting and client-facing skills alongside your technical expertise.
• Benefit from a collaborative and supportive environment with opportunities to lead projects and support more junior colleagues.
• Progress your career within a business that invests in its people, with clear opportunities for development and internal progression.

Key Responsibilities of the Pensions Data Consultant:

• Take ownership of client projects, from understanding the initial requirements through to delivering practical recommendations and solutions.
• Use your DB pensions knowledge to identify data issues, assess their potential impact and help clients determine the most appropriate way forward.
• Apply your technical expertise to complex projects involving scheme data, benefits and member records, often where there isn’t a straightforward answer.
• Work alongside Actuarial, administration and risk transfer specialists to ensure data is fit for purpose and supports wider scheme objectives.
• Manage project delivery, coordinating work across the team and ensuring deadlines, budgets and quality standards are met.
• Build relationships with clients and take an active role in meetings, presenting findings and explaining technical issues in a clear and accessible way.
• Support the development of less experienced colleagues by sharing your technical knowledge and providing guidance on project work.
• Help develop new approaches, tools and processes as the Pensions Data offering continues to grow.

About You:

• Strong UK DB Pensions knowledge, ideally gained within a consulting environment.
• Experience working on Pensions data, GMP Equalisation or benefit rectification projects would be highly beneficial, but is not essential.
• Confident communicator, able to build strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders and explain technical issues clearly.
• Comfortable taking ownership of projects, managing competing priorities and supporting less experienced colleagues.
• A proactive, technically minded individual with strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the confidence to challenge and suggest alternative approaches.
• Commercially aware, with an understanding of the importance of delivering high-quality work within agreed budgets and timescales.
• Could be a Qualified Actuary, Nearly Qualified Actuary or someone who is not pursuing Actuarial qualification.

Benefits

• 26 days holiday, with the option to buy or sell days.
• Private Medical Insurance.
• Competitive Pension Plan.
• Actuarial study support, if required.
• Annual performance-based bonus.
• Hybrid working, typically 2 days per week in the office.
• A wide range of additional benefits supporting employee wellbeing and development.
