Job description

The role and responsibilities

This is a highly connected leadership role that helps ensure the Enforcement and Legal Group (ELG) stays focused, aligned and on track to deliver its priorities, particularly those that support TPR's regulatory frontline and ultimately protect pension savers. The role has two core areas of focus: firstly, ensuring ELG's priorities, activities and key deliverables remain coordinated, aligned and on track; and secondly, creating and enabling a strong network across TPR to support executives and leaders in delivering organisational objectives. Working closely with senior leaders across ELG and wider TPR, you will coordinate priorities, manage dependencies and maintain momentum on important work. Through building strong relationships and connections across teams, you will bring people together to solve problems, improve ways of working and deliver shared outcomes. Success in the role depends on excellent organisational, leadership and influencing skills, helping colleagues and leaders stay connected, informed and focused on what matters most. The role also drives continuous improvement by removing barriers, strengthening planning and governance, and embedding effective ways of working. In doing so, it contributes directly to TPR's strategic goals, fosters collaboration and learning, and helps create the conditions for better decisions, stronger delivery and improved outcomes for members and savers.

You will lead the ELG Support Office, bringing together Executive Assistants, Operations Leads and other support roles to provide consistent, high-quality support, strengthen planning and governance, and improve delivery.

The role also focuses on driving continuous improvement, embedding effective ways of working, and removing barriers that affect performance. By bringing people together, improving processes and supporting informed decision-making, you will help ensure Legal Services and Enforcement can deliver their work efficiently, collaboratively and in line with TPR’s wider strategic goals
