I'm working with a leading international life reinsurer looking to hire a nearly or newly qualified actuary into a growing Retirement Solutions team.
This is a broad actuarial role sitting close to both new business and the in-force portfolio, with exposure to reporting, business planning, transaction onboarding, capital analysis, management information and process improvement. It would suit someone who enjoys understanding the story behind the numbers, working across different reporting bases, and communicating clear insights to senior stakeholders.
The team supports a fast-growing retirement reinsurance portfolio, with work covering both the asset and liability side of the balance sheet. You would work closely with actuarial, finance, operations, pricing, systems and client-facing teams.
Key responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Exposure to US reporting, Bermuda reporting, economic capital or funded reinsurance would be useful, but is not essential.
Why consider it?
This is a good opportunity for someone who wants a broader role than pure reporting. You will get exposure to a growing retirement reinsurance portfolio, senior stakeholders, new business, in-force management and balance sheet analysis, while developing a deeper understanding of how actuarial results link to commercial decision-making.
