Welcome note from Camilla Egginton, Nest Corporation Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer.
Many thanks for your interest in the role of Director of Impact and Public Affairs at Nest.
It is an exciting time for Nest. We are already the UK’s largest workplace pension scheme with over 13m members and £53bn of assets under management; we are set to continue to grow strongly, with the expectation that assets will have grown to £100bn by the end of the decade. This growth and scale give us the opportunity to make a real difference to our members’ lives and be a force for good by taking a responsible approach to investing our members’ money.
Nest was set up to ensure every employer could provide their employees with a pension, with a particular focus on supporting the needs of low and moderate earners. 68% of Nest members earn less than £30k and we play a vital role in ensuring they are well served in providing for their retirement. We are a strongly purpose driven organisation, focused on “Building financial peace of mind for all”. It’s a bold ambition but one that we are uniquely placed to deliver.
In pursuit of our ambitious purpose, we are seeking a Director of Impact and Public Affairs who can, alongside our Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, help us transform our organisation to become the best -in-class pension provider, delivering the best possible financial outcomes for our members to and through retirement.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate. This new role will be a key member of the leadership team of the Strategy and Transformation function and will require you to work closely with the Board and Executive to ensure that Nest has an astute understanding of its external environment and is able to translate that into strategic choices and decisions.
