Partner, Pension Actuarial Consultancy
Location: UK-wide, hybrid, with offices in major cities
Remuneration: Equity Partnership, or entry at Director level with progression to Partnership. Highly competitive packages offered
I am managing a confidential search for several Partner-level leaders for a PE-backed Pensions Actuarial practice that is entering a new, well-funded investment cycle.
This opportunity is different: it's for a leader who is motivated by the thought of getting their teeth stuck into a substantive new challenge and wants a direct stake in the outcome.
This is a highly autonomous role with a clear path to equity partnership (or entrance at this level) and uncapped earning potential, directly linked to the growth you help create.
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.
