I am representing a leading international Life Insurance company in London who are looking for a nearly/newly qualified Life Actuary to join their cutting edge Risk modelling team.

You will work with a high quality team in London, and further group teams across APAC. A key function of the role is to manage the methodology and calibration of the risk models, including the IFRS 17 liquidity premiums.

This is a fantastic opportunity to springboard your career. You will have exposure to senior stakeholders within an international business, you will quickly drive your technical abilities forward and gain valuable experience for career progression.

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.
