Pensions Consultant, Trustee Governance, DB Pensions
London, Manchester, Glasgow or Belfast with hybrid working


I’m working with a well-established trusteeship business that is investing heavily in its ongoing trustee services. This is a proper "engine room" governance role where you sit close to Trustees and senior client leads, owning meeting cycles, actions, budgets and scheme governance across a portfolio of DB arrangements.


If you enjoy being the person who keeps everything tight, timely, and regulator ready, while still building strong relationships with advisers and sponsors, this is likely to land well.


What you will be doing day to day
*Running the governance calendar across your schemes so nothing slips, including statutory deadlines and internal reporting
*Partnering with the Client Manager to keep business plan actions moving and documented properly
*Owning Trustee meeting logistics end to end, including agenda planning and producing clear packs
*Writing crisp minutes and actions that stand up to scrutiny, then chasing actions through to closure
*Keeping scheme spend under control, supporting budgets, checking invoices, and making sure approvals and payment processes are followed
*Handling member queries in a way that is responsive and confident
*Pulling together information for Trustee discretions so decisions are well supported and evidenced
*Keeping stakeholders aligned across administrators, advisers, sponsors, and Trustee boards


What I am looking for
*Solid experience in DB scheme governance, trustee secretariat support, or pensions administration with a governance focus
*Around five years plus in a similar role, where you have owned meeting cycles and action logs rather than just supporting them
*Strong written output, especially minutes and action tracking
*Confident juggling multiple schemes, competing deadlines, and senior stakeholders
*A good working understanding of DB operations and governance expectations


Nice to have, not essential
*Degree or relevant professional qualifications, but experience wins here


What you get in return
This team’s pitch is simple. They want people to have interesting, healthy careers, with flexibility that actually works in practice. They back that up with a strong benefits package, typically including:
*Competitive salary and bonus approach
*Flexible holiday offering
*Hybrid or remote working options depending on location and preference
*Matched pension contributions
*Life assurance and income protection
*Health cash plan, dental cover, and employee assistance support
*Annual health screening
*Car leasing and cycle to work options
*Season ticket support and charity giving options


If you send me a CV or a quick outline of your current remit, I will come straight back with the scheme mix, seniority level, and what "good" looks like in the first six months.
