This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Project Manager with a Defined Benefit (DB) pensions background to join our thriving project management team. You will lead and deliver a variety of client‑facing and internal pension change projects, working with medium to large pension schemes across diverse industries.

In this role, you will manage a broad portfolio of projects including GMP equalisation, Buy‑in/Buy‑out readiness, benefits rectification, scheme mergers, wind‑ups, and other pension change initiatives. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across multiple lines of business, clients, administrators, actuaries, and external partners.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with strong project management skills who has worked in pension projects and/or actuarial project environments, or pensions consulting, and who enjoys both the structure of pension risk based projects delivery and the challenge of troubleshooting complex issues.

Why This Role is Exciting

  • Work with large, high‑profile clients and a wide variety of pension schemes.
  • Be part of a growing team, contributing to new project areas and strategic initiatives.
  • Opportunity to deepen expertise in specialist DB project areas such as GMPe and de‑risking transactions.
  • Dynamic role blending pension risk based project delivery with strategic problem‑solving and cross‑functional collaboration.

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.
