    • Experience of working in a team with a collaborative, consultative approach.
    • The ability to juggle multiple tasks and plan and organise your workload effectively.
    • Exceptional communication skills, demonstrated through your ability to be clear and concise in communications with clients, members and colleagues.
    • The ability to work well as part of a team and lead by example, including aiding in the coaching and development of junior colleagues across the firm.
    • Able to produce work with a high level of accuracy, with a strong attention to detail.
    Ideally, we would be looking for candidates to hold a professional qualification such as ACCA, ACA or CIMA (or be working towards one of these). However, we would also be open to applications from candidates who could bring a knowledge of the UK pensions market from relevant industry experience. A more detailed list of requirements for this position is available within the role profile - which is available on request. In addition to a competitive salary and access to our profit share scheme, we offer:
