Finance Lead - Pension Administration

Help build a new pension administration organization from the ground up

Do you want to build a finance function from scratch and thereby have a direct influence on how pension administration is organized?

The pension world is in full motion. The transition to the new pension system, digitalization, and changing expectations from pension funds demand pension administration that is reliable, scalable, data-driven, and future-proof.

Within the IG&H Group, we are building a new pension administration organization. An organization in which pension, technology, data, and entrepreneurship come together, and in which we think from the ground up about how pension administration can be organized more smartly, efficiently, and scalably.

For the financial part, we are looking for a Financial Lead who wants to take responsibility for this from the very beginning. This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial finance professional who does not just want to advise or manage, but primarily wants to build, decide, and realize.

As Financial Lead, you are responsible for the finance function within a multi-client pension administration organization. You will develop a generic and scalable setup for multiple pension funds and ensure that financial processes, systems, and control measures align well with each other.

You work at the intersection of finance, pension, data, and technology. In doing so, you interface with management, consultants, data and technology professionals, and external implementation partners.

You are responsible for, among other things:

• Designing and implementing the financial administration for multiple pension funds.

• Setting up financial processes and the associated control framework.

• Cash management, payment transactions, premium collection, and pension benefits.

• Monitoring liquidity flows, reconciliations, and connections between administrations.

• Directing the financial chain between pension administration, payment transactions, and the general ledger.

• Functional management of suppliers and implementation partners.

• Coordinating implementations, chain testing, and acceptance.

• Identifying and realizing opportunities for standardization, automation, and process improvement.

• Further developing the financial domain into a mature and scalable function.

• Gets energy from an environment where not everything has been thought out yet.

Experience within the pension sector is a plus, but not a requirement.

You are not stepping into an existing financial organization. You get the chance to help determine from the ground up what the finance function of a new pension administration organization looks like.

In doing so, you will receive plenty of room for your own initiative and responsibility. Together with colleagues from finance, pension, data, and technology, you will build a scalable setup that can serve multiple pension funds.

For someone with an entrepreneurial character, this is a role in which you can quickly make a lot of impact.

Within the IG&H Group, we bring our expertise in the fields of pension, finance, data, and technology together to establish a new generation of pension administration.
