Overview

Are you ready to build a rewarding career in pensions administration?

We’re looking for a Pensions Administrator to join our team and play a key role in administering a portfolio of occupational defined benefits (DB) pension schemes. You’ll ensure every task and calculation is carried out with precision and care.

This is your opportunity to work in a dynamic and supportive environment where your skills will be valued, and your career growth will be encouraged.

Why Gallagher?

We are dedicated to encouraging a culture of excellence, innovation, and teamwork. In this role, you'll play a crucial role in delivering outstanding service to our clients while mentoring and guiding junior team members. We offer a vibrant workplace where your contributions are recognised, and your career growth is supported. You will take an active role in delivering a diverse range of occupational pension schemes, including Defined Benefit, Defined Contribution, and Hybrid pensions; ensuring all tasks are completed accurately and promptly. Responsibilities include allocating cases, performing and verifying both automated and manual calculations, and coordinating pensioner payrolls, as well as drafting and reviewing correspondence and reports, managing cashflows, investments, disinvestments, and invoices.

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.
