A key role of the Propositions team with the Individual Life & Pensions Business Unit is to maintain, extract and analyse propositional data to support the analysis of customer outcomes. Under the FCA’s Consumer Duty requirements, there is an enduring need to develop new data and metrics to better understand our customers to evidence good customer outcomes and identify areas for potential improvements.

In particular, the approach to assessing Value for Money in Workplace Pensions is expected to evolve following further regulatory guidance this year. The role holder will play a key role in translating regulatory expectations into actionable data requirements, reviewing existing reporting capabilities, and shaping the development of enhanced Value for Money metrics to support effective oversight and decision‑making.
