Securing pensions over the long term can be a challenge for many businesses.
Our ambition at Legal & General Retirement Institutional (LGRI) is to help companies and pension scheme trustees honour their defined benefit pension promises to their employees.
We’re helping companies settle their pension liabilities so they can focus on growing their businesses, as well as helping to support their members’ financial security in retirement. And we’re investing for the long term to back our pension promises.
In the last 30 years we’ve written more UK business than any other insurer, and we currently look after more than half a million pension policyholders. We're the UK’s longest-serving active bulk annuity provider, and a market-leading, multi-award winning business.
We are currently looking for a Transition Manager to join our Transition team here at L&G.

You will also support the PRT Business Development team where required to assist in maximising both new and existing business opportunities at tender; including beauty parades, performing administration risk assessments, creating benefit specifications and leading site visits, as well as producing opportunity specific project documentation and marketing material.
You will also lead on the development of ‘scheme specific’ transition plans for a portfolio of transactions and provide these to all Trustees, their advisers and all interested parties within L&G to demonstrate how the transition project is being handled. This will involve working closely with stakeholders in PRT to establish and control the most efficient way to transition each scheme.
You will also take liaise with trustees, brokers and administrators, to agree a timescale and process for verifying data to ensure that benefits are costed accurately and reflect the legal liabilities being taken on by L&G. This will include establishing and monitoring actions against the agreed timetable and putting remedial actions in place if required. As well as undertaking a Post Implementation Review for each scheme, and meeting with or reporting to the Trustees, their advisers and administrators as appropriate.
You will also maintain an excellent knowledge of the Pension Risk Transfer proposition and processes of L&G along with any changes to pensions and de-risking legislation to further support the development of our Pension Risk Transfer Implementation capabilities across our UK business structures and future active territories.
This is a hybrid working opportunity based from our Hove Offices, which will allow you to work flexibly between your home and the office to find a work/life balance that works for you.
