Hartley Pensions is looking for talented senior pension administrators with extensive experience in both leadership and SIPP & SSAS pension transfers to lead our transfer out team during an important transitional phase for the business.
By leading Hartley's transfers out team, you will motivate, guide and support the team in the delivery of high-quality outcomes and ensuring an exceptional service is provided to our clients.
Who are Hartley Pensions?
Hartley Pensions is a SIPP and SSAS pensions operator based in central Bristol. Since July 2022, the company has been in a trading administration. Under the administration of UHY Hacker Young, Hartley Pensions continues to operate an essential service to clients whilst preparing to transfer members to new UK-based operators and wind down the business.
Role
As Hartley Pensions continues to transfer out our SIPP and SSAS members over to new operators, we are seeking a driven pension transfers specialist with demonstrable experience in leadership to act as our Interim Transfers Out Manager.
The work of Hartley’s transfers out department makes up a critical component of our continued administration. As the leader of this team, your duties will cover (but are not limited to) the following:
- Manage and mentor a team of entry level and experienced transfer out specialists.
- Oversee the work of your team in administering the end-to-end process of our clients’ transfer out requests.
- Be the immediate point of escalation on devolved queries from colleagues.
- Understand the administration software and workflow systems of the company.
- Perform due diligence in line with the relevant regulatory guidelines.
- Work cross functionally with other areas of the business.
About You
It is essential that you are a leader who can handle voluminous, complex and diverse workloads.
Prior experience in SIPP transfer outs is mandatory and should be reflected on your CV. You must have experience in handling bulk transfer requests as well as administering manual (paper) transfers. You will also have experience with and a strong technical understanding of transferring more complex portfolios wherein commercial property or non-standard assets may exist. This is not an entry-level position and whilst we provide training and upskilling to staff, you are fully expected to hit the ground running.
