Pensions Actuarial and Consulting
Join our Pensions Actuarial and Consulting team for a ten-week summer internship. You will work alongside experienced colleagues on real client projects and learn how mathematics, data and clear communication support decisions about pension schemes.

- Help build and check financial models using statistical methods
- Review data carefully and explain your findings
- Draft clear communications and supporting materials
- Research business and market developments
- Support client work and attend team or client meetings where appropriate
- Share knowledge and ideas that help improve our service
Your responsibilities will grow as your skills and confidence develop.
What we’re looking for
- An interest in mathematics, finance and solving problems
- The ability to review information carefully and explain your thinking
- A willingness to learn technical and workplace skills
- The ability to organise your time and meet agreed deadlines
- The confidence to ask questions and use feedback
- The ability to work positively with others
- Being able to value different perspectives and work collaboratively
- The ability to communicate clearly and listen to others
- Being able to take care over quality and accuracy
- A good ability to respond constructively to feedback
- People who stay curious and look for better ways to solve problems
- Consistently acting with respect, fairness and integrity
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We will assess these behaviours in a structured and consistent way during the recruitment process.
Training and development
You will receive on-the-job learning and support from experienced colleagues. The internship will help you develop actuarial awareness, analytical skills, client communication, presentation experience, and confidence in a professional environment.
Length of programme
This is a ten-week fixed-term internship from Monday 28 June 2027 to Friday 3 September 2027.
Entry requirements
- You must be in the penultimate year of a full-time university course
- You must expect to graduate and be available to start full-time employment in September 2028
- We welcome applications from students studying any subject
