Life Actuary
London (hybrid)
Our client is a rapidly growing Life & Pensions business that is going through an exciting growth journey. With continued investment across the business and further growth plans already underway, the organisation is evolving rapidly and creating opportunities for actuaries who want to be part of something more than business-as-usual.
This role would suit somebody who has built a solid foundation in Life actuarial work and is now looking for greater visibility and deeper ownership, with the chance to make a more meaningful impact within a business.
- You'll work closely with experienced actuarial & finance professionals, gaining exposure to senior stakeholders and helping support key business decisions in an environment where actuarial input is genuinely valued.
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.

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're interested to engage with Life Actuaries from a range of backgrounds including:
- Life insurance reporting
- Actuarial Life consulting and audit
- Financial reporting and IFRS 17 work
- Finance systems, controls, governance
You could be recently qualified, newly qualified, approaching qualification, or still working through the exams with strong relevant experience.
More important than qualification status is the desire to join a business where you'll have visibility, responsibility and room to grow.
This is an opportunity for a Life actuary already in industry, or perhaps an audit-focused Life consultant to move into industry and gain deeper ownership to the full cycle within a growing Life & Pensions group. Ideal for someone who wants broader responsibility, greater exposure to senior stakeholders and the chance to help shape transformation of processes rather than review them from the outside.
