Partnerships that deliver insight, impact and progress Partnership opportunities
The PMI works with organisations across the pensions ecosystem to deliver education, insight and professional development that supports higher standards, stronger governance and better outcomes for savers. Our partnership opportunities are designed to be collaborative, credible and impact‑driven — enabling partners to contribute expertise, share insight, and engage meaningfully with the pensions profession.
Lead the conversation, shape industry thinking Insight partnership
The PMI Insight Partnership offers organisations a strategic platform to share expertise, contribute to thought leadership, and influence the direction of the pensions debate. Designed for partners looking to build credibility and visibility, the Insight Partnership connects you with PMI’s engaged professional audience through a blend of insight‑led content, events, digital engagement and research.
Insight partners work closely with PMI to develop content and activity that reflects emerging priorities, policy developments and practical challenges facing the industry today. The partnership focuses on meaningful contribution rather than promotion alone, ensuring insight is relevant, authoritative and trusted.
Supporting learning, building capability Education partnership
Education sits at the heart of the PMI’s purpose. Through education partnerships, organisations can support high‑quality learning, share specialist expertise and contribute to the development of pensions professionals at every stage of their careers.
The PMI works with education partners to deliver training, learning resources and development initiatives aligned to professional standards and industry needs. These partnerships support practical learning, build confidence, and help address specific skills gaps across governance, administration, investment and regulation.
Working together to raise standards Development Partnership
Development Partnerships bring together organisations that share a commitment to professionalism, capability building and long‑term industry progress. These partnerships are focused on collaboration — combining expertise, insight and practical experience to support learning, innovation and good governance across pensions.
Development Partners contribute to the PMI’s wider education and development agenda, supporting initiatives, programmes and resources that respond to evolving industry challenges. Through partnership, organisations can help shape solutions, support professional growth and play an active role in strengthening the pensions profession.
