Pension scheme manager Lagos Mainland

Job Description:

Pension scheme managers are responsible for ensuring that pension schemes operate effectively and sustainably. Their main function is to manage a pension fund - a large pot of money paid in by companies and individuals over many years to provide benefits in retirement.

Pension scheme managers may coordinate schemes that are managed by a company/employer, a benefits consultancy, a public sector pensions provider or an insurance company. They may also be involved with defining the strategic development of schemes as well as overseeing the day-to-day management of pension funds. Developing new schemes or managing related funds may also be a feature of the work.

developing pensions policies and pension and benefits packages;
reviewing, discussing and agreeing fund strategy and structure with the company board, investment managers and other advisers;
managing the relationship between the employer (primarily responsible to shareholders) and trustees (representatives of scheme members);
meeting with and encouraging communication between actuaries, fund managers, solicitors and consultants;
advising the company board on new and emerging financial issues;
raising company-wide awareness of pensions-related matters;
ensuring that schemes operate effectively and meet performance, quality and customer care targets as well as complying with industry standards;
monitoring changes in the legal situation for pensions providers and developments in pension provision in order to ensure the optimum performance of the fund;
