Wiltshire Pension Fund - Driving Financial Resilience

This is a key role, helping us deliver meaningful change across the Fund by leading improvement projects that enhance service delivery and ensure we meet our responsibilities to over 170 employer organisations.

You’ll work closely with internal teams, suppliers, and stakeholders to manage a wide range of projects - from regulatory changes like McCloud, to annual benefit statements and service efficiency improvements. You’ll bring people together, develop clear plans, and see them through to successful delivery. Your work will help us improve performance, streamline processes, and make better use of resources.

We’re looking for someone who’s confident working across teams, with strong project management skills and a good understanding of change methodologies like Lean or Agile. You’ll be part of a supportive management team, helping shape the future of the Fund and ensuring we continue to deliver a high-quality service.

To be considered, you must hold a recognised project management qualification and having demonstrable experience in leading change projects using methodologies such as Lean or Agile.

Application process

Wiltshire Council does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate details from recruitment agencies that are not appointed under a current, valid contract or approved supplier arrangement (including through our neutral vendor, Comensura).

Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees. If a candidate whose details have been submitted speculatively is subsequently appointed through a compliant route, no agency fee will be payable in respect of the unsolicited submission.

Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
