Valayo are working with a leading global advisory firm in the Lloyd’s & London Market looking to hire a Nearly (9+ exams)/Newly Qualified Actuary into a mixed role.
This isn’t your typical advisory role. Rather than audit-driven projects, the work is shaped by live reinsurance transactions and market activity, putting you much closer to strategic decisions as they happen.
The role offers exposure across capital, reserving, and pricing, with a greater capital focus in the short-medium term given the growth of ILS, sidecars, and other innovative reinsurance structures.
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.
