We use statistics and analysis to keep customers safe and drive value for insurers, banks and pension schemes, while helping them to remain compliant.

Career options

In Actuarial we have roles available for the Summer Vacation Programme, Industrial Placement and our Graduate Scheme. Discover more about our programmes.

Our Actuarial Insurance and Banking practice offers a variety of career options within the UK, in our London, Manchester, Bristol and Edinburgh offices. Roles are available across our three specialisms: Actuarial Insurance, the Capital Markets Group or Banking Analytics & Financial Resource Management.

Actuarial Insurance: Our Actuarial Insurance business is known for delivering technical quality and thought leadership that drives the industry forward. We work in both life and general insurance, and our actuarial services attract everyone from large multi-national insurers and Lloyd’s market syndicates to small insurers who don’t employ their own actuaries.

The Capital Markets Group (CMG): We specialise in modelling the future movements of UK and international economic markets. As part of the CMG team you will be involved in the more technical aspects of actuarial and banking work, requiring high levels of quantitative skills to solve challenging problems. The team’s also responsible for XSG, the firm’s economic scenario modelling suite – and are also invited to advise on more-typical life insurance projects, so expect to gain broad actuarial experience.

Banking Analytics & Financial Resource Management: We help world-leading banks to maximise their data to solve complex business challenges. It’s a discipline that calls for deep mathematics and statistics knowledge, as well as intermediate to advanced programming skills, which you’ll learn while you’re here.

Our Actuarial, Pensions and Rewards practice is a rapidly growing team of actuaries, employee benefits specialists and modelling experts. They provide audit and assurance services to those responsible for pension schemes.

You’ll get the opportunity to work in a national practice based in London or Belfast, with many different learning and development options available. From the start, you’ll be exposed to interesting and challenging work, enabling you to develop personally and professionally within the pensions industry.

Multi-year Finance and Actuarial Transformation at a Multinational insurance company

IFRS 17 was introduced to standardise insurance accounting across the world, to make the process more transparent. This includes standardising the way a company measures insurance contracts, as well as the data they’re using to do this. We were asked by a company in Asia to support the implementation of this, so they can comply with the new regulations. Over the course of several years we worked on this complex project, and the firm we supported became one of the earliest multinational insurers in Asia to complete the implementation of IFRS 17. The implementation covered designing new methodology, building actuarial models and supporting systems, and re-organising their teams to be better aligned to operate the new process. This was done one year ahead of the deadline, and the company is now fully compliant with the new regulations.

Technology is becoming ever more advanced, making innovation critical. We're currently pioneering the theme of ‘Exponential Actuary’, which means we are looking at how the roles of actuaries will change in the future due to increasingly automated workforces and the advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The concept looks at finding new ways to use actuary skills in other areas of a client’s business, so the knowledge and experience we have can create value elsewhere.

Outside of our core actuarial work, we also champion the environment through our involvement with the WWT London Wetland Reserve. As well as presenting the benefits of investment in this natural landmark to companies, we also take a hands-on approach by volunteering, helping to carry out essential conservation tasks at the reserve. Last year 15 members of our team were involved in planting wildflower meadows, coppicing trees and shrubs, removing invasive plant species, repairing and refurbishing boardwalks and bridges and working from within the ponds, reed beds and bodies of water around the reserve.
