  Overview
  We’re working with a growing financial services organisation that requires an experienced Pensions Specialist to provide short-term support during a busy period.
    
  This contract will suit someone confident managing complex pension cases end-to-end, while also supporting team performance and maintaining strong operational standards.
    
  The Role
  You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality SIPP administration across a varied portfolio, ensuring all work is completed accurately, efficiently, and in line with regulatory requirements.
    
  Alongside your own caseload, you’ll provide technical support to colleagues and help maintain consistency in team output.
    
  Key Duties
  

  • Oversee the full administration of SIPPs, from onboarding through to ongoing servicing

  • Process a range of transactions including contributions, transfers, and benefit payments

  • Manage drawdown activity and pension payroll calculations

  • Take ownership of more complex or non-standard cases

  • Review and check work completed by others to ensure accuracy and compliance

  • Provide guidance and support to team members on technical queries

  • Assist in improving internal processes and identifying efficiencies

  • Liaise with clients and third parties to resolve queries and maintain service levels

  • Ensure all activity aligns with current regulatory and legislative standards

    
    
  Additional Responsibilities
    
  As part of this contract, you will play a key role in supporting the transition of knowledge to the permanent team.
    
  This will include:
  

  • Training members of the internal pensions team on SIPP administration processes and best practices

  • Documenting key procedures, workflows, and technical requirements to support long-term service delivery

  • Supporting a structured handover of responsibilities, ensuring the internal team is confident managing the scheme independently

  • Acting as a subject matter expert during the transition period, providing guidance and clarity on complex areas

    
  This element of the role is essential, as the long-term objective is for the existing pensions team to take full ownership of the administration and ongoing servicing of the new pension scheme.
    
  Candidate Profile
  

  • Demonstrable experience working with SIPPs within a pensions administration environment

  • Ability to handle complex cases with minimal supervision

  • Strong working knowledge of relevant regulations and industry standards

  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
