Smart Pension was founded by finance and tech professionals to make workplace pensions and savings simpler and more
accessible. Our mission? To improve long-term financial wellbeing—for everyone.
We believe in building products that create lasting impact, and weʼre just getting started. Over the next 12 months, youʼll help
shape an exciting new part of our platform: bringing our pension products directly to individuals, helping more people gain
control of their future.
Our approach is:
Sustainable – Our investments follow a responsible, forward-thinking strategy while maximizing long-term returns.
Climate-conscious – Our default growth fund targets net zero by 2040—ten years ahead of most providers.
At Smart, we put people first. We:
Offer hybrid work: most teams are in-office two days a week or less.
Support flexible hours that fit your life.
Encourage community involvement (e.g. RailsGirls, volunteering
