We're an in-house pensions team looking for an experienced Governance Manager to guide the fund through governance challenges and enhance the existing frameworks. This is a senior role managing risk oversight and governance for an award-winning local government pension scheme (LGPS).

The Wiltshire Pension Fund administers pensions on behalf of around 180 different employer organisations, ranging from local authorities, colleges, academies, charities and third party service providers, with around 86,000 members.

This role combines strategic leadership, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, giving you exposure to senior decision-makers and the opportunity to deliver governance excellence in a complex, evolving environment. Responsible for keeping the Fund compliant, you'll work collaboratively with your colleagues across the whole team to ensure that governance matters are documented, understood and embedded, supporting change and innovation.

The successful candidate will have deep knowledge of UK pensions legislation and regulatory codes, and will be a clear, concise communicator, ensuring all stakeholders are informed and well advised.
