LCP is an award-winning actuarial and analytics consultancy providing market-leading capabilities and advice across pensions and financial services, energy, and health. We combine powerful analytics with human expertise to help shape a more positive future.

We have an exciting opportunity to join LCP as a Consultant in our Pensions Actuarial Department, supporting our continued growth in the DB pensions market. We are preferably looking for candidates to divide their time between pensions actuarial and pensions risk transfer (PRT) work, but we are flexible on the split between the two depending on your strengths and interests.

The team

Our pensions actuarial department in London consists of over 150 people, from analysts to Partners. The team advises trustees and sponsors on a wide range of DB pensions issues, from core work such as actuarial valuations and member options advice to strategic advice and project work.

The team are highly respected within the industry having led the market since its inception. The majority of people within the Pensions Risk Transfer team divide their time across a number of aspects of pensions advice.

Everyone in the department has their own unique client mix, meaning that everyone works with lots of different people to advise a range of different clients. This means that the client work is varied and interesting, and there are always new opportunities to learn from others in the team.

What will you be doing?

  • Working on a variety of schemes, each with their own priorities, our clients range from small schemes with only a handful of members, to large schemes of over 1bn
  • Coordinating actuarial calculations with less experienced team members on your clients and reviewing these calculations along with the associated advice. At consultant level, you are expected to take ownership of workstreams with support from senior members of the team
  • Undertaking a central role within the Pensions Risk Transfer team, in broking insurance transactions, liaising and negotiation with insurers, attending meetings and managing projects from start to end
  • Exploring within our department opportunities to join other specialist teams, for example covering longevity, GMP equalisation, Collective Defined Contribution schemes and post transaction work

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.
