Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
Who we're looking for
You are likely to have at least five years' experience within the pensions industry, with strong exposure to areas such as:
- pensions governance
- trustee support
- scheme secretariat
- pension scheme management
- governance consulting
- professional trustee support
You should also have:
- A strong understanding of occupational pension schemes
- Experience working directly with clients, trustees or senior stakeholders
- Good knowledge of pension scheme governance
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- Confidence working independently while also contributing to wider client teams
- An interest in developing into a broader pensions consulting role
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This is not a traditional pensions administration position. The role is best suited to someone already working in a governance, trustee-facing, secretariat or consulting environment.
Why consider it? The biggest attraction is breadth.
Rather than being limited to one area of pensions, you will have the opportunity to develop across governance, client management, consultancy, projects, technical work and new business.
It offers a strong next step for someone who enjoys trustee-facing work but wants more variety, ownership and long-term career options.
For more information, apply directly or contact BWD for a confidential discussion.
