This is a nationwide, hybrid appointment.
Our client, a multinational consulting and broking business that works with some of the largest clients in the UK, is looking for talented and ambitious pensions consultants who are keen to further their career. This is an opportunity to join their expanding Risk Transfer team, providing clients with advice on the journey to buy-in, broking the market and winding up schemes. They are looking for individuals with excellent communication and project management skills, adaptability, business acumen and a desire to be in front of clients, all underpinned by the required consulting skills and experience.
The Role
Bulk annuity broking and winding up pension schemes is fast becoming an increasingly important role as part of the run-off of DB schemes and delivering service excellence in this area will be crucial to our client’s overall delivery.
Becoming an integral member of the Risk Transfer team, this role will have a predominant focus on the post-transaction, buyout and wind-up phases. However, you will also be afforded the opportunity to work on a wide range of clients, complimenting their buy-in journey at all stages, including pre-transaction.
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.
