Pensions Administration Manager

Are you experienced in Pensions Administration management? Are you passionate about delivering excellent customer service? If so, this new position could be the ideal opportunity for you.

Our Payroll, Pension and People Administration service is transforming and we are seeking an exceptional Pensions Administration Manager to lead, motivate and transform our pensions team delivering services across circa 11,000 employee and 4 public sector pension schemes.

Reporting to the Head of Payroll, Pensions and People Administration you'll play a critical role in providing a professional, efficient, cost effective and “best in class” pension service to all our customers. Taking day-to-day management accountability of the Pensions Administration team you’ll ensure that individuals are appropriately skilled and qualified to undertake their roles successfully. You’ll be the corporate specialist for the organisation, keeping up-to-date with relevant changes in legislation and guidance and dealing with the most complex pension queries.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking an individual with a mix of pensions expertise and management experience, and a vision for improving the service. Significant experience of managing a pension administration team and a strong background of public sector pension scheme processes are essential. We’re also looking for someone with great communication and relationship building skills; someone who is analytical, highly organised and solutions focussed.

This role benefits from the flexibility of hybrid working, working from our Lincoln office two days each week. As a new starter to our organisation, the expectation is that initially you’ll spend more time on-site getting to know the team and understanding the role.
