Consultant, Investment, Pensions, DTRB, Tax & Legal Manchester, England
Job description
Connect to your Industry
The Pensions Practice, Deloitte Total Rewards and Benefits (DTRB), within the Tax & Legal Service Line is a multi-disciplinary group comprising over 200 professionals - actuaries, employee benefits specialists, investment professionals and administrators, led by five partners. DTRB is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and provides investment advice, actuarial services and outsourced pension administration services to trustees and corporate sponsors of pension schemes. We are a national practice with a large team in London, together with teams in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast.
Deloitte Total Reward and Benefits Limited (“DTRB”), the UK pensions advisory business of Deloitte LLP, is in the process of being acquired by Isio and, subject to FCA approval, is expected to join the Isio group at the end of May. Employees of DTRB, including the incumbent of this role, will remain employed by DTRB following the acquisition, but will be part of the Isio group rather than Deloitte LLP.
Isio launched in March 2020, backed by Exponent, and the business has shown strong organic growth through new client wins and the development of additional services. The acquisition of Premier Pensions Management in January 2022 strengthened Isio’s core pensions business while enabling it to launch new propositions including employee benefits advice and wealth management. In joining DTRB, you will be part of one of the largest pension advisory businesses in the UK.
