Her key responsibilities are defining the requirements for the procurement of the administration of personal accounts and establishing the trustee board that will run the scheme.
The role is a secondment for Dean, who has moved from the Department for Work and Pensions, where she worked on pension policies. She had responsibility for the Informed Choice initiative before moving on to develop the policy on personal accounts.
Prior to this, she has been responsible for the introduction of a pension forecasting IT system and the state second pension.
Dean’s other responsibilities in her new role will include product development, marketing and brand management.
She said: “As PADA moves into its delivery phase, it is a truly exciting time to be working at the authority. PADA is a unique organisation full of high quality people, who are committed to delivering the personal accounts scheme.
“I am looking forward to playing my part in the introduction of the scheme, which will improve the retirement income of millions of people.”
Dean’s contract is for a fixed period and will end on December 31, 2011. At this time she may be eligible for reappointment.
