Full job descriptionLocation: Cardiff preferred | Remote working considered


The opportunityWe’re working with an established financial services organisation looking to appoint a DB Pension Transfer Quality Reviewer.
This is an important position within the business, focused on maintaining high standards of advice through technical file reviews and adviser competency assessments.
The role does not involve providing financial advice directly. Instead, you’ll use your knowledge of defined benefit pension transfers to review advice, identify potential concerns and help ensure advisers demonstrate the appropriate understanding before providing advice.
Ideally, you’ll be based in or around Cardiff, although remote working could be considered for the right individual.


What you’ll be doing*Reviewing defined benefit pension transfer files to assess the quality and suitability of advice.
*Checking that recommendations are appropriately evidenced, documented and compliant with relevant regulatory requirements.
*Identifying inconsistencies, potential risks and areas requiring further clarification.
*Providing clear, constructive feedback following file reviews.
*Participating in adviser competency assessments, using structured, scripted questions to evaluate advisers’ technical understanding before they begin providing advice.
*Helping maintain consistent technical and quality standards across the business.


What we’re looking forWe’re interested in speaking with individuals who have strong technical knowledge of defined benefit pension transfers and the qualifications to support that knowledge.
You’ll ideally have:
*A relevant Level 4 or higher financial services qualification, together with an appropriate DB pension transfer qualification.
*Strong technical knowledge of defined benefit pension transfers and the associated regulatory requirements.
*An understanding of what constitutes suitable, well-documented pension transfer advice.
*Excellent attention to detail and the ability to critically evaluate information.
*Clear communication skills and the confidence to question or challenge findings where necessary.
*A methodical, objective approach to reviewing advice and assessing technical competency.
Previous experience in file checking, compliance, paraplanning, pension transfer advice or technical support would be beneficial.
You do not need to have previously worked as a Pension Transfer Specialist or in a dedicated file-checking position. The right qualifications, technical knowledge and ability to apply that knowledge are the priorities.


Why consider this opportunity?This is an opportunity to put your specialist pension transfer knowledge to use in a role that focuses on technical quality rather than sales targets or providing advice directly.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence advice standards, contribute to adviser competency assessments and take responsibility for an important area of quality assurance.
For someone who enjoys the technical and regulatory aspects of financial planning, this could be an excellent opportunity to apply their knowledge in a different capacity.


Interested?If you have a strong understanding of defined benefit pension transfers and the relevant qualifications, we’d be pleased to hear from you.
