Pension Calculation Analyst 12 Month FTC in Redhill

Lead with Expertise. Deliver with Impact. Shape the Future of Pensions. At WTW, we believe difference makes us stronger. We want our workforce to reflect the different and varied markets we operate in and to build a culture of inclusivity that makes colleagues feel welcome, valued and empowered to bring their whole selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive work environment throughout our organisation. We embrace all types of diversity.

This is an exciting opportunity to join WTW’s Outsourcing Business as a Senior Pension Calculation Analyst within the Business Solutions function of our Outsourcing Business Technology team. In this role, you’ll collaborate with a highly skilled team of onshore and offshore specialists, supporting a wide range of Defined Benefit (DB) occupational pension schemes. As WTW continues its impressive growth—partnering with some of the largest pension schemes, delivering for LifeSight, supporting leading insurers, and rolling out our innovative OneDB proposition—you’ll play a key role in driving technical excellence, improving processes, and creating greater efficiency across our delivery model.

We’re looking for a professional with deep expertise in DB pensions, particularly in areas such as Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), GMP Equalisation, and Barber period calculations. You’ll combine strategic insight with hands‑on skills to lead complex work, mentor colleagues, and help shape smarter, scalable solutions. If you’re ready to take the lead, collaborate with passionate professionals, and make a meaningful impact in the pensions industry—we’d love to hear from you.

Why WTW? At WTW we trust you to know your work and the people, tools and environment you need to be successful. The majority of our colleagues work in a “hybrid” style, with a mix of remote, in‑person and in‑office interactions dependent on the needs of the team, role and clients. Our flexibility is rooted in trust and “hybrid” is not a one‑size‑fits‑all solution.
