This creates one of the largest pension administration operations within the Local Government Pension Scheme, serving a growing membership and employer base. As we continue to build on this success, this leadership role will play a key part in driving innovation, continuous improvement and service excellence across the organisation.
About the role

Reporting to the Head of Pensions Administration, you will be responsible for helping shape operational strategy whilst ensuring service delivery meets legislative requirements, performance targets and stakeholder expectations.
You will bring substantial experience of leading teams within a pensions environment, ideally within the Local Government Pension Scheme. We are seeking a strong operational leader with a track record of managing performance, improving services and delivering results within complex and customer-focused organisations.
