Job description

  • You'll have real responsibility from day one, owning key processes that directly impact thousands of employees and their investments.
  • You'll work with large-scale transactions - often running into millions of pounds every month.
  • You'll become a specialist in a complex, HMRC-regulated product used by some of the UK's biggest brands.
  • You'll be part of a team that values continuous learning, precision, and doing things the right way.

What You'll Do

As a SIP Administrator, you'll be at the heart of daily operations, ensuring the smooth, compliant, and timely running of one of the industry's most significant employee share plans.

  • Daily processing of incoming funds
  • Payroll reporting
  • Share purchases
  • Dividends
  • Reconciliations
  • Sales, transfers and settlements

Your role helps ensure the plan runs flawlessly - meeting strict HMRC rules, delivering for clients, and supporting the Trustee in their responsibilities. When something doesn't look right, you'll be empowered to escalate quickly and effectively.

Your Core Responsibilities

  • Manage inbox queries from internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Collaborate with colleagues to deliver seamless service
  • Maintain awareness of key regulations including COBS, CASS and HMRC rules
  • Use the EQ escalation framework to manage risks responsibly

What You'll Bring

You'll thrive in this role if you are someone who enjoys problem-solving, working with data, and contributing to a team that takes pride in doing things accurately, efficiently, and collaboratively.

Requirements

  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality
  • Self-motivation with the ability to work independently
  • Great organisational and time-management skills
  • Ability to work well under pressure and meet deadlines
  • Comfort working as part of a team
  • Strong English language and communication skills
  • Good MS Office skills (Excel experience is a bonus)
  • Ability to identify and mitigate risks
  • Understanding of policies and how to apply them in practice
