Pensions Consultant

The Pensions Management Consulting (PMC) team in PwC works with clients
to establish and maintain effective pension scheme operations and
governance processes. Pension services exist in an ever changing and
challenging environment. Against a backdrop of legislative change, regulatory
requirements and increasing pressure on company balance sheets, the
governance and administration of these arrangements has had to constantly
adapt as Trustees and sponsoring employers seek to control costs and
operational risk.

Working as part of the broader workforce network, the Pensions
Management Consulting team is a client facing team with deep specialist
skills and expertise over the spectrum of pensions change projects including
outsourcing, administration contract reviews, target operating model design,
software selection and implementation, data analysis, process re-engineering,
implementing operational change, governance and risk management, and
benchmarking.

as well as playing an instrumental role in the development of pension services
in the public sector. In the private sector, we've been engaged by a number of
