Actuarial Opportunities - Autumn 2012

The Job

As an actuary, you’ll work with uncertainty. Using complex financial and statistical theories to calculate the likelihood of events – anything from a hurricane to a wholesale IT system failure – you’ll work out what that means financially for clients. It's highly technical work. And it’s made all the more challenging by the fact that you’ll have to present your complex findings in simple, easy to understand ways

You'll start off in one of two areas - both among the leading actuarial practices in the UK.

In Human Resource Consulting you’ll work in our pensions team or in our reward team. In pensions, you'll work with a wide variety of companies, from large multi national organisations to smaller UK-focused businesses, advising them on how to best acheive their objectives in relation to their pension / benefit schemes. In reward, you'll have a broader consulting role. You'll help companies focus on the best way to reward their senior employees, using financial modelling skills to analyse their incentive designs.

In Actuarial & Insurance Management Solutions you’ll work with clients from the insurance industry (both life and general insurance), but also those in retail and investment banking, non-financial services corporates like energy and utilities, plus healthcare and the public sector. Your advice could cover a variety of subjects including solvency, reserving, economic capital, risk management, M&A's, company restructuring and de-risking. financial modelling, underwriting, new legislation.
