We’re currently supporting a well-established London Borough in the search for an experienced Pensions Team Leader to join their busy pensions function on an interim basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced pensions professional with strong people management experience to lead a team of 5 Pension Advisors within a complex public sector environment. There is also potential for the successful candidate to apply for a permanent position longer term if desired.
