Senior Transitions Consultant – Pension Risk Transfer Business

We’re currently recruiting for a Senior Transitions Consultant to join our Award Winning Pension Risk Transfer Business.

By joining our Transitions team you’ll play a key role in onboarding new Pension Risk Transfer (PRT) business into L&G. You’ll work closely with Employee Benefit Consultants and Trustees to develop scheme specific transition plans in order to reconcile scheme member data and accurately record the benefits secured.

This is a hybrid working opportunity, which will allow you to split your working week between your home and the office to find a work‑life balance that works for you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Developing and delivering scheme‑specific transition plans, including documentation, governance structures, and controls to ensure efficient and timely onboarding for Trustees, advisers, and internal stakeholders
  • Analyzing scheme benefits and data to support the drafting of legal agreements, ensuring benefits can be accurately administered by Client Services teams
  • Conducting first‑line peer reviews to ensure benefit specifications and data are accurate, enabling correct customer benefit payments and scheme funding
  • Taking end‑to‑end ownership of allocated schemes, monitoring progress, managing reviews, and responding promptly and appropriately to customer and stakeholder communications
  • Supporting new business origination and Transition Managers by advising on administration capabilities and attending site visits to assess data quality prior to transactions
  • Ensuring clear and timely communication with a complete audit trail across all benefit and data items throughout the onboarding lifecycle
  • Contributing to continuous improvement within PRT Client Services by producing relevant management information (MI) and sharing insights
  • Ensuring customers receive tailored, understandable communications that enable fair outcomes and appropriate action

Who we’re looking for

  • Pensions qualification such as CII, PMI, or demonstrable equivalent experience
  • An in‑depth knowledge of DB pension regulations, including schemes undergoing de‑risking essential
  • Demonstrable understanding of Defined Benefit scheme structures and administration essential
  • Ability to manage tight deadlines and prioritise workload effectively
  • Ability to deliver a timely and accurate service, with a strong focus on getting things right first time
  • Strong risk awareness, including being able to proactively identify and mitigate risks to the team and business
  • Excellent organisational and project management skills, with hands‑on project experience being highly advantageous
  • A clear and professional communication style, that can be tailored to both internal and external stakeholders; including policyholders, members, regulators, third parties, and colleagues

Benefits

  • The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance‑related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
  • Generous pension contribution
  • Life assurance
  • Healthcare Plan
  • At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
  • Competitive family leave
  • Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand‑new electric car through tax‑efficient salary sacrifice
  • There are many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
  • We’re creating net‑zero carbon workplaces by 2030 by investing in our sustainable, modern offices across the UK, all designed to bring people together and elevate the in‑person experience

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part‑time, term‑time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can.
