- Assisting with the delivery of continuous improvement across PRT Client Services, by providing relevant MI as required.
- Ensuring all internal customers and any relevant third parties are kept updated in a timely fashion on any key information which impacts their processing to enable them to treat the end customer fairly.
- Supporting (in collaboration with the Transition Team Manager) the ongoing development of the team by providing appropriate support and training to less experienced members of the team.
- Ensuring customers have sufficiently tailored information to enable them to understand what is being communicated, including any action they need to take or when advice or further support may be required.
Who we're looking for:
- Pension Qualification such as CII or PMI (or demonstrable equivalent experience)
- Knowledge of pension’s regulations for DB schemes, including a detailed understanding of the requirements for schemes in the process of de- risking (is essential)
