Description

Pensions Actuary (Consultant / Risk Transfer focus)
Location: London (hybrid, minimum 2 days in the office)

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a leading actuarial and analytics consultancy that's known for combining deep technical expertise with a friendly, collaborative culture. The firm provides award-winning advice across pensions, financial services, energy, health and analytics, blending powerful data with human insight to help clients make better decisions.

The pensions business continues to grow rapidly, particularly in the defined benefit (DB) market, and we're looking for a qualified (or nearly qualified) actuary to join the London team. The role offers the chance to split your time between pensions actuarial consulting and pension risk transfer (PRT) projects, with flexibility depending on your strengths and interests.

You'll be joining a department of over 150 people, from analysts through to Partners, advising a wide range of trustee and corporate clients. Everyone works with a mix of clients and colleagues, so no two days are the same, and there's plenty of opportunity to get involved in varied, interesting work.

What you'll be doing:

• Working with schemes of all sizes, from small to multi-billion-pound funds, helping clients make key decisions around funding, strategy and risk
• Taking ownership of workstreams, coordinating and reviewing actuarial calculations and associated advice, with senior support where needed
• Getting involved in PRT transactions, broking insurance deals, liaising with insurers, attending client and market meetings, and managing projects from start to finish
• Having the chance to explore specialist areas such as longevity, GMP equalisation, and Collective Defined Contribution schemes
• Attending client meetings and developing your consulting skills, with regular exposure to senior stakeholders
• Taking part in industry networking and events, with the firm playing an active role in the pensions market and creating great opportunities to build your profile

What they're looking for:

• A qualified or nearly qualified pensions actuary with UK consultancy experience
• Strong technical pensions knowledge, comfortable reviewing actuarial valuations, accounting work, and member options projects
• Awareness of key topics and trends shaping the UK pensions landscape
• Clear communication skills, able to explain technical work in a way that makes sense to clients
• Confidence in delegating and mentoring more junior team members
• Good commercial awareness and time management
• An interest in pensions risk transfer, with full training provided if you haven't done this work before

What you'll get in return:
You'll be part of a business that values its people, encourages growth, and genuinely supports a healthy work-life balance. Hybrid working is well established (typically 40% in-office), and you'll be surrounded by approachable, supportive colleagues who want you to thrive. Expect plenty of variety, a collaborative culture, and the opportunity to build both your consulting and PRT expertise within one of the UK's most respected actuarial teams.
