Our actuarial team provides comprehensive advice to trustees and corporate sponsors of defined benefit pension schemes in areas such as scheme funding, individual benefits, risk management, and more.

During your internship, you will support analysts and consultants with this work while gaining valuable knowledge about financial markets and the pensions industry.

This is an eight-week paid internship providing penultimate year students with an accelerated foundation to their career.

What can you expect?

  • Experience working for a global company shaping the future of Health, Wealth, and Career consulting.

  • You'll have an introduction to consulting, learn from experienced professionals, and develop a breadth of skills over a period of eight weeks.
  • You'll work on real projects with real clients, providing you with valuable insights into the industry.
  • The world of retirement saving is changing. At Mercer, we are developing innovative solutions for our clients and their employees, including supporting them on the journey to their end game.

What is in it for you?

  • An eight-week paid internship with the potential to secure a full-time role ready for you to start in 2026, giving you more time to focus on and get the most out of your final year of university study.
  • Experience of working for a large global organisation that is incredibly passionate about its work and cares for its clients across the world.
  • Excellent development opportunities with enhanced focus on consulting and analytical skills.
  • Client exposure at an early stage.
  • The chance to learn from and work with a range of experienced professionals and industry leaders, and the opportunity to share experiences and build a network with other interns.

We will count on you to:

  • As trusted advisors, our main goal is to communicate complex analysis in simple terms for our clients to make well-informed decisions on their pensions issues. You will support analysts and consultants with this work while gaining valuable knowledge about financial markets and the pensions industry.

What you need to have:

  • You should be a penultimate year student and on track to achieve a minimum 2:1 degree classification. If your degree discipline is not mathematics-based, a minimum of a grade A mathematics at A level (or equivalent) will be required.
  • English and Mathematics GCSE (Minimum Grade 4).
  • Right to Work in the UK (we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship for this role).

What makes you stand out?

  • Ability to think critically and problem solve a wide variety of issues: analytical skills, both quantitative and qualitative.

  • Natural proactivity and organisational, presentational, and project management skills with good attention to detail; proficient in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
