The Vacancy
At Hymans Robertson, actuarial consulting is at the heart of what we do - combining our analytical expertise with a deep understanding of pensions, benefits and financial risk to deliver tailored solutions for our clients. Whether advising on Private Sector Defined Benefit schemes or supporting Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS), our actuaries play a pivotal role in helping people to make informed decisions.
We are excited to welcome applications for our Actuarial Consulting & Analytics graduate programme, which is a perfect next step for those looking to launch their careers within this field!
Depending on your skills and interests, you will join either one of our pensions actuarial consulting business units (Actuarial Private or Actuarial Public) as a trainee consultant, or our Insights & Analytics team as an analyst. While these pathways are closely connected, each offers unique opportunities to develop specialist expertise and make a meaningful impact for our clients.
What will your role look like?
Trainee Consultant (Actuarial Private Business Unit)
As a trainee consultant within our Actuarial Private Business Unit, you'll support a wide range of private sector pension scheme clients. You could find yourself helping trustee boards and sponsoring employers navigate complex issues such as scheme funding, risk management, long-term planning and member security. You'll work alongside experienced actuaries and consultants to analyse data, solve problems and communicate complex ideas in a way that helps clients make informed decisions.
Trainee Consultant (Actuarial Public Business Unit)
If you join our Actuarial Public Business Unit, you'll work with Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS) and other public sector clients. You'll help support some of the UK's largest pension funds on matters including funding, actuarial valuations, governance and strategy. This provides a unique opportunity to contribute to decisions that affect millions of members while developing a broad understanding of the public sector pensions landscape.
Analyst (Insights & Analytics Team)
For those who align to our analyst pathway within the Insights & Analytics team, your role will look slightly different to a traditional trainee consultant's. You'll become a specialist in the technology that powers our consulting teams, building expertise in programming languages such as R and developing innovative solutions that help us deliver better insights for our clients. Working closely with consultants across the firm, you'll play a key role in transforming data into meaningful analysis and supporting the continued evolution of our technology and tools.
