Senior Pensions Administrator​/Pensions Analyst

Position: Senior Pensions Administrator / Pensions Analyst
Pensions Analyst / Senior Pensions Administrator

If you’ve spent the last few years in pensions administration and you’re starting to think,  “I’m ready for something a bit more interesting than this” , this could be worth a look.

BWD is working with a growing pensions business that is looking for someone with solid pensions administration experience to join its team in a broader, more technical role.

This isn’t about sitting in a queue processing the same cases every day.

You’ll get involved in more complex calculations, checking, problem-solving and technical pension work, while continuing to build the kind of experience that can open up much more senior opportunities later on.

What will you actually be doing? A mix of things, including:

Working on defined benefit pension plans

Completing pension calculations and more complex member cases

Checking and reviewing calculations

Investigating tricky queries rather than simply passing them on

Supporting pension projects and one-off pieces of work

Working closely with experienced colleagues across the wider pensions team

Building your technical knowledge and gradually taking on more responsibility

In short, it’s a role for someone who enjoys pensions but wants a bit more depth, variety and challenge.

Who would suit it?
You don’t need to know absolutely everything. What matters more is that you have:

Good defined benefit pensions experience

A decent understanding of pension calculations

Strong attention to detail

Confidence dealing with member and plan queries

A willingness to learn

An interest in becoming more technically capable

If you’ve had exposure to  manual calculations, checking work or more complex pension cases , even better.

Why consider it?
Because not everyone wants to stay in traditional pensions administration forever. This gives you the chance to use the knowledge you’ve already built, move into more interesting work and develop a stronger technical skillset without having to completely change career direction.

There is good progression available, plenty to learn and a supportive team around you.
