We are currently working with one of the UK's providers of Pension and Actuarial services who are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Senior DB Pension Administrator to join one of their growing pension teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a pension professional with strong Defined Benefit (DB) administration experience to take ownership of a portfolio of schemes, support junior team members, and deliver a high-quality service to trustees, employers, and members.

As a Senior DB Pension Administrator, you will play a key role in ensuring pension schemes are administered accurately, efficiently, and in accordance with legislation, scheme rules, and internal service standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Administer a portfolio of Defined Benefit pension schemes.
  • Calculate and process member benefits, including retirements, transfers, deaths, divorces, and deferred benefits.
  • Check and review complex calculations and casework completed by colleagues.
  • Respond to member, trustee, and client enquiries in a professional and timely manner.
  • Prepare and maintain accurate member records and scheme documentation.
  • Support pension payroll and annual administration activities.
  • Assist with scheme events, projects, and implementations.
  • Monitor workflows and ensure service level agreements (SLAs) are achieved.

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.
