  • Market and credit risk modelling
  • Stochastic modelling and calibration

  • Technical modelling projects across the Group
  • Supporting the organisation's growing APAC operations
  • Working with and providing technical guidance to an international actuarial team

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.

About You

We are looking for a recently qualified Life Actuary, or someone close to qualification, with a strong technical modelling background.

Ideally, you will have experience across areas such as:

  • Capital or risk modelling
  • Solvency II / SCR
  • Stochastic modelling
  • Market or credit risk
  • Model development and calibration
  • R, MATLAB, VBA, Python, Excel or similar

Most importantly, you will enjoy getting into the detail of how models work and be comfortable developing, challenging and explaining technical methodology.

APAC experience is useful but not essential. The ability to learn new technical and regulatory requirements is more important.
