The PPF
At the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), we provide security in retirement for our members and millions of people throughout the UK who belong to defined benefit (DB) pension schemes. Through the PPF and Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS), we compensate members for their pensions after the employer funding their pension becomes insolvent. In total, we look after over 400,000 members across the PPF and FAS. With over £30 billion in assets under management, our investments support long-term economic growth across the UK.
Our award-winning team of around 450 professionals has earned the IPE UK Pension Fund of the Year title three times in seven years. We work closely with government and industry partners to improve outcomes for scheme members, employers, and the broader pension system—playing a vital role in strengthening retirement security nationwide.
The vacancy
We’re looking for a Pension Project Analyst to join the PPF within a team that is responsible for the delivery of schemes that are transferring to the PPF.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will be responsible for managing a portfolio of pension schemes within the PPF legislative framework and will require close involvement and management of all stakeholders, including trustees, actuaries, and scheme administrators, to deliver projects in line with the agreed project plans and budgets. This includes working closely with relevant internal teams to resolve technical or legal issues to ensure a smooth progress either through transition for schemes transferring into the PPF or, for overfunded cases, to a successful buyout.
Our ideal applicant will have experience of working within the pensions industry, preferably in the area of windups and/or buyouts. A relevant pension qualification will be advantageous. Applicants must have the ability to manage projects, ensuring they are managed within time and budget. They will need to have strong communication skills, with the ability to interpret complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical individuals, with the ability to influence a variety of stakeholders.
