  • help raise the profile of the regulator amongst the UK pension scheme investment community.
Essential skills
  • Experience of working with workplace pension funds is essential, for example in-house, as an investment consultant, or as an investment or fiduciary manager.
  • In-depth knowledge of the UK workplace pension fund investment environment (DB and DC) including: Governance, objective-setting, strategy-setting, economics, markets, asset classes, LDI, CDI, other emerging approaches, ESG, climate change, investment managers including fiduciary managers, performance measurement, operational investment infrastructure, costs and charges, and the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks
  • Good understanding of UK DC pension scheme investment including Master Trusts along with value for money, costs and charges, performance management and governance requirements

  • Ability to work well with non-investment colleagues, e.g. case managers, actuaries, covenant advisers, lawyers and policy experts
  • Broad familiarity with the legislative and regulatory environment for UK workplace pension investment
Salary and benefits As well as a competitive salary, we offer:
  • Civil Service Pension arrangements, which are recognised as some of the best in the pensions world
  • discretionary bonus arrangements
  • generous annual leave provision
  • flexible working arrangements
  • development opportunities
