_Help us create a better future, quicker_
Scottish Power has two defined benefit schemes, plus one stakeholder pension scheme. The two defined benefit schemes are closed to new entrants but remain open to future benefit accrual.

These are large and very complex schemes which are currently overseen by boards of Trustees and managed by a team of 8 based in Glasgow, headed up by the UK Pensions Director.

_What you'll be doing_
The specific job descriptions will vary by role.

All roles will support the Pensions Director and wider team to deliver a best in class service to the Trustee Boards and support the corporate sponsor to develop strategy and approach on key pension matters, as well as the opportunity to drive critical projects.

Whilst the roles will focus on the UK Pensions schemes, they will have a strong working relationship with our Iberdrola Group Pensions function.

Depending on your specific background, roles vary from assisting the Trustee Boards in managing the third party administration to providing input on funding objectives, investment strategy, liability management and general analytical support to Corporate, Iberdrola HR and Group Finance in relation to pension costs.

You will build and maintain successful relationships with key external stakeholders e.g., auditors, lawyers, trustees as well as internal functions, e.g.

Internal Audit, Tax, Finance and as a member of the HR function, contributing to the wider reward & benefits agenda, providing appropriate technical pensions support.

_What you'll bring_
To join, you'll be an experienced pensions professional with knowledge of the UK Pensions landscape. Professional qualifications such as PMI, actuarial or investment are desirable, but not essential.

There are several roles available so experience in any of the following is desirable (not necessarily all of the below):

Knowledge and understanding of IAS19 pension accounting
Pension investment
Pensions financial management, e.g. scheme accounting/audits, pension tax considerations, scheme returns
Pensions administration
Pensions project management
Experience of reporting to a regulatory body such as Ofgem.

It is important that you are a strong team player able to work well in a small dynamic team, providing support and assistance to colleagues as required.

You will have a solid track record of being able to multi-task projects, sometimes with competing priorities.

_What's in it for you_
As well as a competitive salary, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we'll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.

And at ScottishPower, we believe it's the little things we do in life that make a big difference.

From helping you look after your family's wellbeing, save for your future and take personal steps for climate action - our benefits are designed to help you do just that - so that you have everything you need to take care of your world - today and tomorrow.

That's why our benefits include:
