About WMPF

WMPF is one of the UK’s largest pension funds providing local authority pension benefits for employees across the West Midlands. We manage and administer the pension interests of over 330,000 scheme members, 800+ employers and currently have over £21 billion in assets under management.

Our brand-new offices are based at the i9 building in Wolverhampton. It offers excellent transport links by car, bus, train and tram.

What the day will look like

Responsibilities include:

  • Manage projects throughout the project lifecycle, using the organisation’s project management methodology. Project Managers are responsible for managing the medium to high profile/ risk projects where the project and stakeholder environments are of medium complexity.
  • Ensure there is a clear agreement in relation to the objectives, required outcomes, business impacts, delivery approach, risk trade-offs and sequence of initiatives to be delivered for allocated projects.
  • Oversee an outcomes‑based, benefits‑led delivery approach to a range of projects, ensuring that what is being delivered is what is required.
  • Confirm the project budget at the outset, monitor actual spend and provide the latest best estimate based upon factors known at the time of reporting.

About you

You will be a confident and credible project management professional with proven experience in successfully leading complex, multi‑stakeholder projects from inception to delivery. You will bring strong leadership, communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage effectively at all levels and manage relationships across diverse teams and partners. Highly organised and outcomes‑focused, you will demonstrate resilience, pragmatism and an analytical approach to problem‑solving, ensuring projects are delivered within scope, budget and agreed timeframes. With a commitment to continuous improvement, governance and service transformation, you will be motivated by making a positive impact, supporting the Fund’s long‑term vision and exceeding stakeholder expectations.

Why choose the West Midlands Pension Fund?

You will also receive a generous holiday entitlement (starting with 26 days a year plus bank holidays). We work two days a week in the office and three from home. The modern office environment offers a relaxed working atmosphere with study and breakout areas, meeting rooms and kitchens with free tea and coffee making facilities. There are also cloakrooms, bike stores, showers and lockers available.

Other benefits include the employee awards scheme and on‑the‑job development where you will receive comprehensive study support for professional exams, formal education, structured training and the potential to advance within a growing organisation.
