When you see the world as we do, you see the chance to help the world take better care of its resources, and help it become a better place for everyone.

It's why we're looking for someone who sees the world in a similar way to take up an exciting Lead Pensions Officer role to join our team on a 12 month fixed term contract with some time each week at our modern offices in Kings Cross.

Because of our responsibility when it comes to leading change, resourcing takes every single one of us, and this is how you can play your part.

And if you're an experienced Pensions Officer, with experience of a pension secretariat role and regulatory compliance, looking to work within an established brand, this role will suit you perfectly.

It doesn't matter if you're looking to overhaul the industry, or just do a good day's work.

What are we looking for?

Proven experience in Defined Benefit Trustee Secretariat, regulatory compliance and supervising work of junior team members is essential.
