Job Description & Summary

About the role:

Pensions administration is evolving from a back-office function into a strategic driver of scheme success and improved member outcomes, despite increasing industry pressures. PwC’s Data, Benefits and Operations (DBO) team supports trustee and corporate clients by providing outsourced pensions data and benefit services, helping schemes prepare for risk settlement or ongoing management.

As part of PwC’s wider pensions network, the team delivers specialist expertise across data reviews, cleansing, GMP rectification and equalisation, benefit projects, AI-enabled solutions, operational change, governance and risk management. Senior Managers lead complex engagements, manage client relationships, oversee delivery teams, and support business growth and quality.

What your day will look like:

  • Significant pensions knowledge and experience in large-scale projects
  • Advanced Excel modelling; familiarity with additional analytical tools/software advantageous.
  • Excellent client and stakeholder management skills, with strong analytical abilities and excellent presentation and report writing skills.
  • Proven business development capability, with a network of contacts and success in delivering proposals and pitches.
  • High standards of technical accuracy, governance, and delivery under pressure.

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.
