Pensions administrators support organisations to manage the day-to-day operation of pension schemes or plans. They are likely to be involved in a variety of tasks supporting more senior administrators.
A pensions administrator will be involved in producing quotations and setting up benefits for members or plan holders, administer transfers into or out of the pension schemes. The pensions administrator will also undertake financial tasks. These may include maintaining pension scheme cash books; reconciling bank statements and preparing cash-flow forecasts. Pensions Administrators can work in almost any sector.
