Why we exist
Most pension plans in Belgium are stuck in the past: low-yield products, low transparency, endless paperwork. Meanwhile, employees are stressed about money and HR teams are buried in admin.
That’s where WARREN comes in. We’re pioneering Wealth Enablement: a new category that makes pension, benefits and investing options modern, transparent, and actually valued.
We’ve secured our pension fund license, a first-of-its-kind in Belgium, and momentum is building fast. Now we need an experienced leader to run the fund and help shape the future of occupational pensions in this country.
What you’ll own
We are looking for a Pension Fund Manager to lead the strategy, governance, and operations of Warren Pension Fund OFP.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role with full executive responsibility for the fund’s financial soundness, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. You will report to the Board of Directors and work closely with internal teams, service providers, and regulators (FSMA).
You’ll own the full fund lifecycle: from governance and compliance to participant administration, investment oversight, and digital product. This is a career-defining mandate for someone who wants to build something meaningful in Belgium’s financial landscape.
