Here, you will benefit from a personalised training and development plan, tailored to your current knowledge, experience and level of qualification, and designed to ensure your career objectives are achieved. In fact, in this organisation, the only limit to your progression are your ambitions and your appetite for hard work. Indeed, the Retirement Solutions Practice has a long track record of promoting from within, and can give many examples of employees who have gone on to achieve great things such as focusing on niche areas or moving into management. Unlike many other organisations, our client will help you become an expert in the industry by offering you rotations through its Corporate and Trustee consulting groups, as well as the chance to work with specialist teams from the moment you start. This includes a market-leading Risk Settlement Group and Member Options consultants, as well as Investment, Delegated Consulting & DC teams.

You will also remain alert to potential opportunities for service improvements, including suggesting and implementing changes - ensuring that legislative, regulatory, business and professional standards are followed. It is essential that you have excellent numeracy and IT skills, and ideally a minimum of a 2:1 degree in a numerate subject. You should either be a Part or Qualified Actuary, and have some practical experience of working within a pensions or actuarial environment. You should have excellent communication skills, together with a demonstrable track record of delivering excellent client service to professional partners. This dynamic business is a long-time adopter of hybrid / flexible-working, and you will be welcome to work from home 2-3 days per week. For days when you are in the office, you can be based from a number of locations across the UK including Birmingham, Bristol, Epsom, Farnborough, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Manchester, St. Albans. Flexible / part-time requirements can also be accommodated for. In return, you will receive a generous basic salary that is typically somewhat higher than competing firms.
