Jill Clarke has taken up the role of chief risk officer at IFGL Pensions, IFGL’s SIPP and SSAS administration operator based in Liverpool.

Clarke has over 20 years’ industry experience, having previously worked for both Barclays Bank plc and subsequently for 12 years at the FTSE-listed Capita. At Barclays Jill worked within Contact Centre and then Commercial management roles.

After starting her new role this week, Jill said: “I already feel very much at home at IFGL Pensions - the whole team have been very friendly and welcoming. I look forward to bringing my fresh-thinking and passion to ensure that Risk Management supports us grow new business and retain existing clients, while operating in a way that is fully compliant with UK and international regulations.”

IFGL Pensions managing director Rachel Meadows said: ‘We’re pleased to welcome Jill to the IFGL Pensions team, and to the wealth of experience that she brings to the role of Chief Risk Officer. Jill is a key hire for our growing business, and will help us successfully deliver on our growth and service excellence objectives.”
