Help shape the next chapter of UK pensions

A leading opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Pension Transformation Project Manager to play a key role in delivering a major new defined benefit pension proposition.

This is a high-profile transformation role at a pivotal stage, offering the opportunity to help bring a new proposition from design through to operational launch. You’ll take ownership of a complex operational readiness and implementation programme, working across pensions administration, technology, operations, risk, legal, finance, commercial and external partners.

A key focus will be the implementation and integration of a leading pensions administration technology platform, alongside the processes and operational capabilities required to support the proposition and its future growth. You’ll be responsible for bringing multiple interconnected workstreams together, maintaining delivery momentum and ensuring the programme meets its strategic, operational, regulatory, budget and timeline objectives.

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.

Experience of DB consolidation, Superfund/Endgame propositions, buy-in/buy-out transactions or Procentia implementations would be particularly valuable, though not essential.

The opportunity

This role will suit someone who enjoys working at the intersection of pensions, technology and transformation and is motivated by the challenge of building something new. You’ll be joining a fast-moving environment where there is genuine scope to influence how the proposition develops, shape operational capability and work alongside senior stakeholders to deliver a significant piece of industry change.

If you’re a confident, pragmatic and delivery-focused project professional, this could be an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of DB pensions. Please get in touch by applying with a copy of your CV and one of the team will reach out for a confidential conversation.
