Partner Fund Client Director

Are you passionate about public sector pensions and building trusted relationships that deliver real impact?

As we enter a new phase of pooling in the UK, we're strengthening our team to ensure we meet the requirements of pooling reform and continue delivering a best-in-class, client-centric service.

We're now recruiting two Client Directors to help us provide tailored advice in line with the evolving needs of our Partner Funds.

These are key roles at the centre of a £45bn pension pool (which will grow to at least £65bn by March 2026 in line with Government ambition), working directly with a diverse group of LGPS funds committed to delivering investment returns in line with their unique objectives.

If you're passionate about client service, understand the LGPS landscape, and want to play a part in shaping how we deliver the benefits of pooling for our valued Partner Funds, we'd love to hear from you!

This is more than a client-facing role-it's a unique opportunity to help shape how public sector pension investments are delivered, supporting long-term outcomes for members and employers across the LGPS.
