Corporate Pension Plan Consultant

The consultant will work within Mizuho Research & Consulting, an organization within Mizuho Bank, on corporate pension and retirement benefit plan consulting. The work includes analyzing existing plans from both retirement benefit accounting and pension funding perspectives, examining reform proposals, designing new plans, and simulating the accounting and pension funding effects after implementation.

The role also provides retirement benefit obligation calculation services. This involves calculating obligations based on retirement benefit accounting standards while reflecting each client’s specific retirement benefit plans, including retirement allowance and pension regulations. The consultant may also support clients in building environments that allow them to calculate retirement benefit obligations independently.

The required qualification is the ability to communicate logically with clients and audit firms. Knowledge of pension systems is preferred, and an actuarial qualification is an advantage but is not mandatory.
