Pension Consultant - Post Transaction Specialist

Location: London | Type: Full-time | Department: Pensions Consulting

Are you passionate about helping pension schemes achieve successful buy-out and wind-up outcomes? Do you thrive in a client-facing environment where your technical expertise, project management skills, and relationship-building make a genuine impact?

We’re working with a market-leading consultancy with the UK’s largest and most experienced Pension Risk Transfer team. Due to continued growth in the de-risking market, they’re expanding their Post Transaction team and are looking for an experienced Consultant or Senior Consultant to join their award-winning practice.

You’ll be joining a collaborative team of over 35 specialists who work closely with trustees, sponsors, and insurers to ensure seamless transitions from buy-in to wind-up — supported by strong insurer relationships and deep technical expertise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage a variety of projects supporting schemes transitioning from buy-in to buy-out and full wind-up.
• Act as the key point of contact for trustees and other stakeholders during the post-transaction phase.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, advisers, and insurers to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Create and manage detailed project plans, tracking progress against timelines and ensuring key deliverables are met.
• Lead on key decisions by preparing recommendations and advice for trustees and sponsors.
• Identify and resolve issues pragmatically throughout the transition process.
• Attend and contribute to industry events, business development activities, and new business tenders.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience from transaction to wind-up.

✅ What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in pensions consulting or within a bulk annuity provider.
• In-depth knowledge of UK DB pensions, buy-in/buy-out processes, and post-transaction insurer requirements.
• Solid understanding of the legislative and regulatory landscape surrounding pension scheme wind-ups.
• Strong project management skills with experience developing and owning project plans.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders including trustees, employers, and insurers.
• Excellent communication skills — confident presenting to clients and leading meetings.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to work independently and under pressure.
• Commercial awareness and experience managing project budgets and risks.
• Experience contributing to new business tenders (desirable).
• Passion for mentoring and developing junior team members.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-growing and highly respected team at the forefront of the UK’s pension de-risking market.
