A leading UK actuarial and analytics consultancy is recruiting a ALM Specialist to join its market-leading Asset Liability Modelling platform team, sitting at the core of its pensions and investment advisory capability.

We're looking for a technically strong pensions or investment professional with experience in asset-liability modelling, who is motivated by complex modelling challenges and the opportunity to translate sophisticated analytics into practical tools used across a consulting business.

Do you enjoy shaping and enhancing ALM models, ensuring their robustness and professional integrity, and helping users unlock their full value?

Are you looking for a role that combines deep technical expertise, product ownership and close collaboration with actuarial, investment and technology teams?

If so, this could be a strong fit.

The Organisation

Our client is an award-winning consultancy providing market-leading advice across pensions, investment, insurance, energy, health and analytics.

Its Pensions & Investment Technology function develops and maintains a suite of tools that underpin its consulting services. Within this, a specialist team is responsible for a flagship ALM platform used to deliver sophisticated modelling and insight across funding, investment, covenant and administration.

The platform continues to evolve beyond traditional UK defined benefit pensions into broader client segments, including insurers, charities and institutional investors.

The Role

In this role, you will:

• Work closely with business and development teams to define and deliver new ALM model features and enhancements

• Provide expert guidance to internal users on how to use and interpret ALM outputs effectively
• Support and enhance a large, business-critical modelling platform while driving continuous improvement
• Contribute to documentation, training and communication of new functionality
• Share pensions and investment knowledge across the development and wider teams
• Engage with evolving modelling requirements across pensions, investment and new client segments

Who We're Looking For

• Strong experience in either pensions or investment modelling, with the ability to build credibility with both business stakeholders and developers
• Good working knowledge of:
• Investment concepts (including derivatives and private markets), or
• UK pensions funding frameworks and actuarial modelling
• Familiarity with key ALM techniques such as:
• Stochastic modelling and scenario analysis
• Sensitivity and exposure modelling
• Cashflow matching and performance measurement
• Understanding of pension liability modelling, including inflation-linked cashflows and funding methodologies (desirable)
• Experience working with or testing actuarial or investment modelling systems
• Strong analytical mindset with a logical, methodical approach to problem solving
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to a range of stakeholders
• Experience managing or contributing to complex projects with multiple stakeholders

Professional qualifications (e.g. CFA, actuarial qualifications) are advantageous but not essential.
