Who can apply?
This role is not limited to colleagues who are already working in training or learning teams within pensions or benefits administration organizations.
We are equally open to experienced pensions administrators who are currently working in the business or operations side and are interested in pivoting into a training role and building a career in learning. What is non-negotiable is deep expertise in pensions administration, a strong understanding of the regulatory environment, pensions rules, and the ability to work through and explain complex calculation scenarios and cases.
Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, simple way are essential. Prior, in-depth training experience is not a requirement.
In this role, you will combine your pensions expertise with the support of a learning and talent team that brings deep experience in designing high-quality learning solutions, using modern learning methodologies, digital formats, and learning technology.
Aptia is doing exciting work in building skills and capability across the organization, and this role offers the opportunity to be part of that journey while developing a new dimension of your career.
