Hill will join the regulator in November. She is currently director of market intelligence, data and analysis at the FCA.
In her new role Hill will be responsible for implementing TPR’s tougher regulatory approach. She will oversee the TPR’s plan for more proactive oversight of some of the higher risk defined benefit, defined contribution and public sector schemes.
Hill is also charged with making better use of data to identify emerging risks in the pension industry, and work quickly with the pensions industry to protect workplace savers.
TPR chairman Mark Boyle says: “Under our TPR Future programme, we have made great strides in developing and implementing a more proactive approach to regulation.
“I am confident Jo will ensure our clearer, quicker and tougher strategy continues to have an impact.”
He adds that Hill’s experience of using data to detect and mitigate risks was crucial to her appointment. He adds: “[This] will help maximise our effectiveness as we strive to make workplace pensions work for savers.”
