Requirements

  • Strong DB pensions data experience
  • Hands-on exposure to data rectification work (GMP, Barber etc.)
  • Ability to get into the detail and challenge technical outputs
  • Confident communicator with strong client-facing experience
  • Able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Strong Excel and reporting skills
