We’re the Pension Protection Fund. We protect millions of people in the UK who belong to defined benefit pension schemes. When these schemes fail, we’re ready to help.
We do this by paying our members, by charging a levy and by investing sustainably. Our work has a real impact on people’s lives, so we strive to do it well, with integrity and their future in mind.
We’re equivalent in size to a top 5 UK pension scheme and have developed a highly sophisticated, best-in-class investment strategy. Our culture combines private sector standards with a public service ethos.
We are looking for an
Operational Due Diligence (ODD) Analyst
to join the team that is responsible for undertaking ODD reviews to identify potential operational risks and control issues within new investment managers prior to investment, as well as monitoring the existing portfolio of investment managers. This position will provide capacity and resource to the ODD function as the PPF’s portfolio of investment managers continues to grow and as the ODD function broadens its investment manager monitoring capabilities. The role requires close interaction with the PPF’s portfolio of external investment managers, as well as internal stakeholders and committees as part of the PPF’s investment selection and monitoring process. A core objective of the ODD function is to identify and escalate operational and control risks within external investment managers, in order to minimise any negative outcome for the PPF. The ideal applicant will be an early career ODD professional with prior experience working in an investment management environment. While previous ODD experience would be advantageous, applicants with experience working in investment operations, compliance, operational risk or internal audit will also be considered. A good working knowledge of investment management processes and operational risks across at least one or more asset classes is essential. Sound like you?
Apply now. In return for your skills, experience and commitment we’ll give you a challenging role within a business where you’ll get the support you need to develop your career. We’ll also give you lots of opportunities for personal development and skills training. Our Croydon office is just across the road from East Croydon station, which is around 15 minutes from Victoria or London Bridge, 10 minutes from Clapham Junction or half an hour from St Pancras. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, the highest accreditation under the Disability Confident Scheme. If you have a disability and meet the essential criteria for this role you will be guaranteed an interview. We embrace diverse talent welcoming people with different beliefs, backgrounds and ways of working. Whatever your background, and however you identify, you’ll be welcome here. We’re happy to talk about flexible working. No agencies please.
