Current vacancies

Deputy Director, External Affairs

Join us to strengthen PLSA’s position as the voice of workplace pensions, helping everyone achieve a better income in retirement.

PLSA enters 2025 with a very significant policy and research agenda, reflective of the current profile of pensions in the national policy agenda and the need to maximise PLSA’s impact in that context, as well as building out new capability around thought leadership. This makes it a particularly exciting time to join the team.

At PLSA we are committed to doing everything we can to improve the retirement incomes of savers in the UK. That means making sure they save adequately through their working lives, investing their money responsibly, ensuring the schemes they belong to can meet the highest standards, improving regulation so it works in the interests of our members and their members, and helping people to understand their options when they come to retire. We do this for, with and through our members.

This is a newly created role leading PLSA’s active external affairs agenda, with a focus on political advocacy. PLSA’s media function also sits within external affairs and the remit of the post but for this recruitment round we will be prioritising finding someone with a strong advocacy background.

Media experience would be a bonus. The postholder will provide leadership to a strong team, seeking to further amplify PLSA’s external voice and reach. The postholder will also play a key role in the overall leadership of the Policy and Advocacy team, which is the largest team within the PLSA comprising 22 staff.

This post will report to the Director of Policy and Advocacy, with line management responsibility for the Head of PR and the Head of Parliamentary and Stakeholder affairs, and responsibility for a team of four overall.

If you think you could be a good fit, we would love to hear from you.
