London, Greater London, United Kingdom Rothesay Full time

Programme start date: 16 September 2024

Eligibility: Final year students graduating in Summer 2024

Who we are

Rothesay is a leading UK pensions insurance specialist. Purpose-built to protect pensions, we manage over £48bn of assets and securing pensions for over 840,000 people. We secure pensions for over 200 pension schemes and insurers including British Airways, Post Office, ASDA, National Grid and Aegon.

At Rothesay, we are striving to transform our industry. We believe deeply in creating real security for the future and our leadership in finding new and better ways to do that is the key to our success. To do that, we need the very brightest original thinkers to bring creativity as well as rigour. Rothesay is a rewarding place to work, where quality people can thrive and prosper. We pride ourselves on the connections our people build, many of whom have been with us for over ten years.

Graduate programme

Our UK graduate programme is designed to kick-start careers for ambitious and analytical graduates who want to make an impact. Rothesay is built on a multi-talented, multi-disciplined model, collaborating directly and with singular focus to shape the future. Rothesay's inclusive and collaborative working environment allows our graduates to build a broad skill-set and shape a strong internal network. We support your development journey, growth in your career, in addition to a competitive salary and tailored benefits.

The programme starts with a fundamentals week for the entire graduate cohort, where you will have in depth networking and insight sessions on Rothesay a whole. From week two, you will join your team for professional integrated learning and start to make meaningful contributions. Throughout your first year, alongside your permanent role, you will be part of an on-sight graduate development programme with both technical and business skills training. Our teams run lean, giving you excellent visibility and exposure throughout the business, and we will provide continuous training and upskilling for your future. Rothesay is a rewarding place to work, where quality people can thrive and prosper.

This opportunity is open to summer 2024 graduates who are looking to launch into their career within an entrepreneurial environment where talent can thrive and excel.

The role

We have vacancies in the Capital team. This team focuses on the monitoring of Rothesay's key financial metrics, as well as the computation of balance sheet impacts for a wide range of prospective asset and liability transactions, and delivering strategic regulatory-driven projects.

Candidates would be expected to study for the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) qualification with an expected specialism in life insurance. When you join us, your work will be highly varied involving all aspects of pensions and insurance actuarial work, and will involve significant interaction both internally with other teams and disciplines throughout the business, and externally, with the regulator. You will need to be able to balance teamwork, intellectual curiosity and leadership potential with a passion for excellence and an interest in the financial markets.

What we offer
  • A meritocratic, driven and stimulating environment where success and achievement are rewarded
  • Work with support from leaders in the industry and excellent on-the-job training supplemented with class-based business training where best applied
  • A competitive starting salary with a performance related bonus
  • A full study support package (including a study budget and up to 40 study days per year) will be provided as you work towards your IFoA fellowship qualification
What we are looking for
  • We recruit from all academic disciplines; although a high degree of numeracy is essential.
  • Impeccable academic credentials are essential. You must have an expected degree minimum of a 2:1 or equivalent from a leading university.
  • Internships & work experience in the financial services sector is desired but not essential.
  • You will need to demonstrate a clear interest and intellectual curiosity in the financial markets and an interest in applying your knowledge and skills to the pension insurance market.
  • You must be available for permanent work within 2 months of your graduation in 2024
  • Fluency in English is a prerequisite.
