As the Pension Regulations Manager within our Pensions Technical Controls area, you will lead and manage the operational team responsible for the development, maintenance, and assurance of complex calculation models and tools (including but not limited to Excel-based solutions) used to deliver pension benefit calculations that underpin critical pensions, data, and payroll operations. You will act as the technical authority for pensions calculations and controls, ensuring that benefit calculations across multiple public service pension schemes are accurate, compliant, and aligned with legislation and scheme regulations. You will work closely with policy, actuarial, and operational teams to interpret complex regulatory requirements and translate them into robust calculation approaches. Operating within a highly regulated and complex environment, you will provide strategic direction and oversight to ensure these tools are accurate, compliant, and aligned with policy objectives, risk parameters, audit preparedness, and governance requirements. This role demands strong leadership to drive calculator innovation, embed technical controls, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence
