The successful candidate will work within the 3rd party SIPP pensions administration team at a senior level supporting varied functions across the full end-to-end SIPP pensions lifecycle.

The role 

• Fundamentally a Senior SIPP 3rd party full lifecycle Pensions Administrator, you will also provide pensions subject matter expertise on challenging and complex problems.
• 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

• 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
