Overview
Are you ready to take your career to the next level? At First Actuarial, a Gallagher company, we’re looking for a Project Analyst to join our Pensions Administration team. If you’re passionate about delivering high-quality work, solving problems, and making a real difference in the world of pensions, this could be the perfect role for you.
As a Project Analyst, you’ll play a key role in managing and supporting a variety of projects related to Defined Benefit (DB) and Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes. Working closely with project managers and administration teams, you’ll ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
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.
