Client Relationship Manager - DB Pensions

If you’ve built your career around Defined Benefit pensions, particularly in funding and investment and you’re starting to wonder what life looks like beyond consultancy, this might be worth a conversation. I’m currently working on a DB CRM role with a leading provider, and it offers something a little different. • You’ll inherit an established portfolio of DB clients • You’ll focus on relationship management and strategic oversight, not business development • No billable hours. No revenue targets. Instead, this is about becoming a trusted partner to schemes, helping them navigate funding, investment, and long-term objectives within a provider environment that’s actively evolving. The organisation is in a growth phase, with several new propositions coming to market. That means you’ll have the opportunity to be part of something forward-thinking, rather than simply maintaining the status quo. This would suit someone currently in consultancy, or perhaps someone who has already moved into a professional trustee firm, who enjoys the client-facing side of the work but is now looking for a shift in pace, focus, and structure without losing the technical depth that makes DB pensions interesting. I appreciate there may be some hesitancy, given the ongoing discussion around DB schemes moving towards buy-out and what that means for the market. While that journey is very real, it’s also driving a significant amount of activity around funding, investment strategy, and endgame planning. If you're open to hearing more, I'd love to set up a conversation, let's talk!
