Pension Project Lead

A leading Pensions organisation is expanding its De‑Risking function and is looking for an experienced professional to take on a key role managing high profile client projects.

This is an opportunity to join a team that’s delivering complex, high‑impact work across the DB landscape, with plenty of scope to shape processes, influence outcomes and work closely with senior stakeholders.

The Role

As a De‑Risking Project Lead, you’ll act as the central point of contact for major client projects, supporting the Client Director and ensuring delivery is smooth, accurate and commercially aligned. You’ll take ownership of:

• Managing risks within scheme data and project delivery
• Leading escalated or high‑profile de‑risking projects
• Monitoring budgets, billing cycles and commercial performance
• Handling first‑level escalations and ensuring issues are resolved appropriately
• Attending project reviews, kick‑off calls and client meetings
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and ways of working

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with Pensions professionals who have:

• Strong technical experience across DB schemes
• Exposure to de‑risking, data, or project based work
• A proactive, solutions‑focused approach to problem‑solving
• Confidence managing stakeholders and communicating clearly
• The ability to balance quality, timescales and commercial considerations

Why This Team?

You’ll be joining a collaborative, forward thinking team with a strong reputation for delivering complex work to a high standard. It’s a great environment for someone who wants to deepen their technical expertise and take on more responsibility.

Candidates with the right skills and experience from across the UK will all be considered, so there’s plenty of flexibility on offer!
