Pensions Consultations Sub-Committee – members

The Pensions Consultations Sub-Committee of Pensions Board is seeking to appoint a new member. The role would suit an experienced pensions actuary who is keen to be closely involved in responding to pensions industry consultations, and who has technical expertise in UK DB and/or DC occupational pensions, and an interest in broader social and regulatory policy.

What is involved

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ (IFoA’s) Consultations Sub-Committee works with the IFoA Policy team to advise policymakers on regulatory and legislative decisions by shaping the IFoA’s responses to Parliamentary inquiries and consultations from Government departments, regulators and other public interest bodies. You will provide technical and policy input and assist with drafting and reviewing, working collaboratively with other Sub-Committee members, Pensions Board and other IFoA groups to produce consultation responses, based on rigorous and independent analysis, that will represent the views of the IFoA and support the public interest.

For full details of the requirements for the role, please see:

Time commitment and tenure

Meetings are held on an ad hoc basis, currently by conference call. The number of meetings and the timing is dependent on the number of pensions related consultations the Sub-Committee needs to respond to, so we would just ask that you are committed to providing considered drafting and comment where a consultation is relevant to your experience and knowledge. The Executive will support the Sub-committee in contributing to relevant IFoA consultation responses and attending meetings with key external stakeholders on policy matters.

Please note this role can be delivered from anywhere around the globe, location is not a barrier.
