Salary: £43,000 to £47,000 per annum plus Civil Service Pension
Contract Type: Permanent
Position Type: Full Time
Expiry Date: 27/01/2026 23:59

At the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), we safeguard the futures of nearly 300,000 members by compensating defined benefit (DB) pension scheme holders when their sponsoring employers become insolvent. With over £30 billion in assets under management, our investments support long-term economic growth across the UK.

Our award-winning team of around 450 professionals has earned the IPE UK Pension Fund of the Year title three times in six years. We work closely with government and industry partners to improve outcomes for scheme members, employers, and the broader pension system—playing a vital role in strengthening retirement security nationwide.

 

We’re looking for a Pension Project Analyst to join the PPF within a team that is responsible for the delivery of schemes that are transferring to the PPF. 

The role will be responsible for managing a portfolio of pension schemes within the PPF legislative framework and will require close involvement and management of all stakeholders, including trustees, actuaries, and scheme administrators, to deliver projects in line with the agreed project plans and budgets.  This includes working closely with relevant internal teams to resolve technical or legal issues to ensure a smooth progress either through transition for schemes transferring into the PPF or, for overfunded cases, to a successful buyout.

Our ideal applicant will have experience of working within the pensions industry, preferably in the area of windups and/or buyouts. A relevant pension qualification will be advantageous. Applicants must have the ability to manage projects, ensuring they are managed within time and budget. They will need to have strong communication skills, with the ability to interpret complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical individuals, with the ability to influence a variety of stakeholders.
