Intelance helps organisations make practical decisions about technology, costs and change. We are looking for a freelance Senior Industry Adviser with deep UK pensions administration experience to provide an independent practical check on technology assessment findings.

This is a focused advisory role. You will test whether proposed technology and operating changes make sense for pensions administration. A typical assignment may involve around two days split between a findings review and review of the final report. Scope and days are agreed separately. Primarily remote within the UK.

Tasks

  • Review findings about pensions administration systems and their connections to other services.
  • Test proposed changes against operational needs, service quality and delivery constraints.
  • Challenge weak assumptions about internal teams, suppliers and transition risks.
  • Help architects distinguish genuine business requirements from platform preferences.
  • Review relevant recommendations and explain any practical concerns clearly.
  • Work with client specialists while respecting their existing pensions knowledge.

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.
