Intelance helps organisations make practical decisions about technology, costs and change. We are looking for a freelance Senior Industry Adviser with deep UK pensions administration experience to provide an independent practical check on technology assessment findings.

A typical assignment may involve around two days split between a findings review and review of the final report. Scope and days are agreed separately. Primarily remote within the UK.

• Review findings about pensions administration systems and their connections to other services.
• Test proposed changes against operational needs, service quality and delivery constraints.
• Challenge weak assumptions about internal teams, suppliers and transition risks.
• Help architects distinguish genuine business requirements from platform preferences.
• Review relevant recommendations and explain any practical concerns clearly.
• Work with client specialists while respecting their existing pensions knowledge.

Qualifications

• Senior operational, consulting or technology leadership experience in UK pensions administration.
• Direct knowledge of administration processes, data quality, system interfaces and supplier delivery.
• Experience reviewing technology or operating changes affecting pensions services.
• Able to give independent advice without promoting a particular platform or supplier.
• Confident discussing findings with senior technology and business leaders.
• Able to disclose and manage relevant conflicts of interest before accepting an assignment.

Benefits

• £1,000 to £1,500 per day, depending on relevant experience. Rates exclude VAT where applicable.
• Contracting route and tax status will be confirmed before an assignment is agreed.
• Short, focused assignments suited to an experienced independent adviser.
• Direct access to the engagement partner and technical team.
• Flexible remote working, with any necessary travel agreed in advance.
• Potential for further assignments by mutual agreement. No minimum volume of work is guaranteed.
