The job:
As a Senior Client Manager you’ll be managing our insurance company clients who operate in the Pensions Risk Transfer market. You’ll also be a point of reference and mentor to the other Client Managers, providing guidance and support with a friendly and positive attitude.
A successful Senior Client Manager will always seek out the win-win situation for us and our clients, whilst always thinking commercially. You’ll use data to track the service we provide to clients and analyse it to spot trends and insights. You’ll continually improve how we deliver our services by regularly reviewing those trends and insights, and work with the team and Sales and Client Director to make things even better for our clients.
Here's what you'll be doing:

· You have a good grasp of our software and a deep understanding of the pensions risk transfer industry so you can speak the language of our clients and our business. You don’t need to be an expert, but you do need to be able to represent our clients internally and manage work for them.
· You will lead the management of complex contracts and their obligations, including monitoring service levels, KPIs, and compliance requirements.
· You’ll collaborate with internal delivery, legal, and finance teams to ensure contractual commitments are delivered on time and within scope.
· You’ll manage renewals, variations, and change requests in line with agreed governance processes.
· You’ll identify risks and opportunities within the contract and escalate as required.
· You’ll produce and present regular reporting to the client and senior stakeholders, in line with contractual obligations.
