Hymans Robertson has appointed Susan Black to the new role of head of GAP (governance, administration and projects) within its LGPS team.
Hymans says this role has been created against the backdrop of structural and regulatory change for the pension sector alongside enhanced scrutiny from scheme stakeholders.
Black will lead and develop the services offered by Hyman’s team of integrated governance, administration and projects specialists to support its clients.
Black joins from NatWest Group where she was a senior manager providing oversight of a variety of risk and governance committees, most recently focussing on data management and compliance across the group.
She has worked in financial services for almost 10 years and prior to this was a solicitor in private practice specialising in high value dispute resolution.
Black says: “With increasing regulatory complexity and scrutiny, the role of governance is becoming ever-more important. I’m looking forward to supporting our clients to meet the challenges and opportunities posed by, for instance, the McCloud judgement, the SAB Good Governance Review and increased digitisation as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic.”
