Pension Consultant

Exciting times are ahead. As a result of the New Pension Agreement, the pension system in the Netherlands will change dramatically. More transparency and choice for the pension participants, and as a result more cost pressure, customer focus and competition between the pension providers are expected. New pension products need to be launched and an enormous amount of processes and software systems is to be adapted in the coming years. This requires top talent with knowledge of pensions.
