Pensions Consultant – Birmingham or London

Overview

We’re excited to be growing our Pensions team and are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys supporting people, staying organised and being part of a team that works closely together. As our new Pensions Consultant, you’ll play an important part in helping us deliver an outstanding service to our clients and supporting our national PMPS team day‑to‑day.

If you enjoy variety, working with friendly colleagues and having a real impact on how a team functions, you’ll fit right in.

Who we are

PMPS provides practical, commercially focused consultancy and governance services for large, complex pension arrangements. Its multidisciplinary team combines legal, consultancy and administrative expertise to support DB, DC and master trust schemes.  These reach across sectors including financial services, energy, manufacturing and retail, typically ranging from £500M to £5BN in assets. Clients include high street banks, large energy companies, manufacturing companies and high street retailers.

PMPS works closely with senior stakeholders such as trustee Chairs, HR and Finance Directors and business leaders.  It also incorporates Trustee Solutions Limited, a professional independent trustee responsible for large commercial group life master trusts covering over 750,000 employees.

Led by Partner Christina Bowyer, PMPS operates within one of the UK’s leading pensions legal practices, recognised for its collaborative culture and market‑leading expertise, and supporting trustees, corporates and pension providers.

What you’ll be doing

This role is perfect for someone who wants to learn and thrive in a supportive environment.  Someone who is organised, flexible and is interested in building relationships with clients and colleagues.

You’ll get involved in:

• Being a friendly, reliable point of contact for routine client queries
• Organising meeting papers and coordinating with advisers
• Attending client and adviser meetings
• Conducting research and supporting knowledge management projects

• Supporting new business and client development activities
• Attending events to represent PMPS and to build your own network of contacts 

Your work will make a real difference — you’ll be the person who helps the whole team deliver seamlessly.
