Job description

Location: Belfast, SW England, NE England, Scotland- hybrid 2x/week in office

This is an interesting opportunity to move into the area between traditional pension consulting and life insurance. This Insurance Pricing team provides pension actuarial services to a leading insurer in the bulk annuity market. Due to an increased workload, the team is expanding its resources by bringing on a number of experienced technical analysts.

The role:

• Provide cash-flow provisions to the client
• Analyse complex data, predominately Excel-based work
• Perform pensions valuations
• Meet strict deadlines set by the client, imperative that the quality and accuracy of the work produced is faultless
• Likely to step into a "doer" role given the complexity of the work, and move into a checker role once the process is learned
• Not client-facing, technical and complex work

The individual:

• Part-qualified Actuary- can be working towards exams, or be an exam-stopper. Also open to those with no exams, but extensive relevant experience
• 18 months, to 5/6 years of experience directly with UKDB pensions, likely at an EBC
• Strong DB pensions knowledge and direct valuation experience is essential
• Strong Excel skills are essential, as is experience with complex data
• Experience with GMPe projects, cash-flow production, and working to strict deadlines is highly desirable
• Must be able to follow structure, and also apply their initiative (i.e 80% of work is completed following process, 20% requires you to use initiative and apply your knowledge)
• Well-suited to someone who enjoys a technical, "number crunching" role as opposed to client-facing, and likes to utilise excel
