Senior Distribution Consultant

We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.

 Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments and navigate important choices. We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return we expect curiosity, connection, accountability and high standards. We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.

You will build strong relationships internally and externally, supporting the development and retention of our relationships with Workplace Pension employers and trustees through robust stakeholder management, good communication and excellent influencing. 

You will develop an excellent knowledge of our proposition and strategy, make courageous, commercial decisions, always with employers and trustees in mind with a relentless focus on continuous development and improvement for a highly efficient and effective team.

 You will support the  Client Relationship Directors/Managers with a focus on helping to grow and retain strategic and key clients. You’ll help deliver the best experience our clients and trustees will find anywhere in our market; obsessing over what’s important to them, understanding what it will take to deliver our strategy and working with business partners to make it happen.

What are we looking for?

• Proven experience in a Distribution or Sales Support role within Workplace Pensions with excellent knowledge of both trust and contract products.
• Ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders to gain appropriate support to meet employer and trustee demands, shape meetings and resolve issues.
• Managing conflicting and varying demands, often under pressure, working with little or no supervision.
• Maintaining a high level of knowledge of the Workplace strategy, plans and propositions and keeping abreast of relevant legislative and regulatory changes.
• Strategic, innovative and commercial thinking to drive continuous improvements that will deliver results for our employers and trustees.
• Working in partnership with the Client Relationship Director/Manager to understand key influencers and proactively identifying opportunities to provide exceptional service and experience.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe that you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you. 

 If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know so we can help you to be at your best. 

We’re reviewing applications as they come in, so apply early to avoid missing out.
