Professional and Regulatory Support Helpdesk – pensions panel member

Application closing date: 15 December

Would you like to help other IFoA members by providing your views on professional and technical actuarial matters?

What we are seeking

We are seeking qualified members of the IFoA with experience in the pensions industry, both in the UK and internationally, to contribute their knowledge and expertise to support the IFoA’s Professional and Regulatory Support Helpdesk (‘the helpdesk’).

The helpdesk provides a confidential space for members to ask questions on the application of professional and technical standards.

If you are in the pensions industry and interested in supporting this valuable member benefit, please get in touch.

Time commitment

Involvement is ad hoc, dealing with queries as they arise and spread across the relevant 4 panels. There are currently 2 to 3 queries a month overall, so the time currently required for this role is minimal, however this may increase over time.

We are also offering a variety of ways in which members can receive a response from the helpdesk. Volunteers would be expected to participate in telephone and video calls, as well as contributing to written responses.
