  • Supporting the development of less experienced members of your team and checking their calculations where necessary.
  • Liaising with client managers and team leaders where there are conflicting demands from clients.
  • Developing and maintaining a good working relationship with your clients.
  • Preparing client invoices within internal deadlines and subject to internal procedures.
  • Ensuring all work is undertaken in a rigorous, accurate and methodical manner.
  • Ensuring comprehensive audit trails are maintained.
  • Being aware of deadlines and planning work in order to meet these.
  • Maintaining a record of current status of all work requested in accordance with agreed procedures.
  • Presenting work in a clear and understandable manner to clients, other advisers and colleagues where necessary.
  • Developing knowledge of actuarial and pensions matters which are relevant to the requirements of the job.
  • Timely and careful time recording against appropriate client codes.
  • Adhering to the firm's Information Security standards, policies and procedures.

We are looking for the following personal characteristics:

  • First class interpersonal and client relationship management skills.
  • First class organisational and communication abilities.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple and sometimes conflicting demands.
  • Able to co-ordinate activity within individual client teams.
  • Driven and motivated to develop an actuarial career in a client focused consultancy.
  • Able to demonstrate a proactive approach in developing technical, consultancy and management skills.

Qualifications & experience:

  • Relevant pensions or actuarial experience.
  • A strong degree (ideally 2.1 or above) in a numerate subject.
  • Making progress with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries examinations.
  • Strong IT skills are essential, in particular an advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
  • A sound grounding in actuarial and computing techniques used in the valuation of pension benefits.
  • An understanding of the legislative framework for UK pension schemes, commensurate with the level of experience in pensions actuarial work.
