Client Relationship Manager - DB Pensions

DB Client Relationship Manager Opportunity

If you’ve built your career around defined benefit pensions, particularly in funding and investment, and are beginning to explore life beyond consultancy, this could be an interesting opportunity.

About the Role

I’m currently working on a Defined Benefit (DB) Client Relationship Management (CRM) role with a leading provider, offering something differentiated from traditional consultancy models.

You’ll:

  • Inherit an established portfolio of DB clients
  • Focus on relationship management and strategic oversight
  • Avoid billable hours and revenue targets

Instead, this role is about becoming a trusted partner to pension schemes, guiding them through funding, investment, and long-term objectives within an actively evolving provider environment.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Market Context

Acknowledging the ongoing transition of DB schemes towards purchase announcements (buy-outs), the market is evolving rapidly. This shift is driving increased activity in:

  • Funding strategies
  • Investment planning
  • Endgame approaches

It’s a pivotal time for engagement—those who can guide schemes through these transitions successfully will remain invaluable partners.
