The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

Intelance helps organisations make practical decisions about technology, costs and change. We are looking for a freelance Senior Industry Adviser with deep UK pensions administration experience to provide an independent practical check on technology assessment findings.

This is a focused advisory role. You will test whether proposed technology and operating changes make sense for pensions administration. A typical assignment may involve around two days split between a findings review and review of the final report. Scope and days are agreed separately. Primarily remote within the UK.

Tasks

• Review findings about pensions administration systems and their connections to other services.

• Test proposed changes against operational needs, service quality and delivery constraints.

• Challenge weak assumptions about internal teams, suppliers and transition risks.

• Help architects distinguish genuine business requirements from platform preferences.

• Review relevant recommendations and explain any practical concerns clearly.

• Work with client specialists while respecting their existing pensions knowledge.

Requirements

• Senior operational, consulting or technology leadership experience in UK pensions administration.

• Direct knowledge of administration processes, data quality, system interfaces and supplier delivery.

• Experience reviewing technology or operating changes affecting pensions services.

• Able to give independent advice without promoting a particular platform or supplier.

• Confident discussing findings with senior technology and business leaders.

• Able to disclose and manage relevant conflicts of interest before accepting an assignment.

Benefits

• £1,000 to £1,500 per day, depending on relevant experience. Rates exclude VAT where applicable. Contracting route and tax status will be confirmed before an assignment is agreed.

• Short, focused assignments suited to an experienced independent adviser.

• Direct access to the engagement partner and technical team.

• Flexible remote working, with any necessary travel agreed in advance.

• Potential for further assignments by mutual agreement. No minimum volume of work is guaranteed.

Apply with your CV and answer the short screening questions. No cover letter is needed. Shortlisted candidates will discuss relevant assignments, availability and rate with us. We will agree scope, working days and contract terms before work starts. Please do not include confidential client documents.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 16 points (from 84 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
