A day in the life
As a Global Retirement & Risk Manager, your work will span plan management and risk oversight across our international retirement portfolio. Your day might include supporting pension scheme governance activities for the UK and Ireland, such as trustee meeting coordination, reviewing member communications, or assessing regulatory changes from TPR or the Irish Pensions Authority. In the afternoon, you might shift to building a risk dashboard to track compliance metrics across multiple EU countries, or developing a corrective action plan to address an emerging regulatory gap in another market.
You'll work closely with our retirement professionals, legal advisors, trustees, and external consultants on regulatory requirements, vendor management, and plan governance. You'll stay current on evolving pension legislation across the UK, Ireland, and EU, translating those insights into risk-adjusted strategies that keep our programs compliant and resilient.
