About the Role
As a Lead Specialist in Actuarial Modelling, you’ll be a critical part of The Pensions Regulator’s mission to protect savers and optimise trust in workplace pensions. Your actuarial and financial modelling expertise will underpin clear, precise analytical outputs—ensuring regulated bodies, pension schemes, employers, and savers alike benefit from informed decisions.
Your work will directly shape how we spot emerging risks, bolster financial resilience across pension schemes, and enhance the robustness of the UK’s regulatory framework. You’ll collaborate across disciplines to turn data into actionable insights—guiding policies, strategies, and regulatory interventions that support millions of savers.
Ideal for You If…
You are drawn to this role because you love:
- Driving solutions: Taking on complex actuarial problems and translating them into clear, impactful decision-making tools.
- Cross-functional collaboration: Working closely with legal, economic, and risk experts to synthesise insights and align on strategy.
- Driving clarity: Taking “line items of data” and reframing them into understandable, actionable narratives for diverse audiences.
- Purpose-driven impact: Commitment to public value and ensuring your work translates to better outcomes for pension savers.
- Learning and sharing: Thriving in a collaborative environment where knowledge grows organically and pairs expertise.
Here, you’ll mesh your technical depth with a shared purpose: to build a more transparent, resilient pensions system.
Core Responsibilities
Analytical Leadership
- Develop, maintain, and enhance dynamic actuarial and financial models to assess and predict pension scheme vulnerabilities, market risks, and strategic opportunities.
- Drive forward-thinking research, interpreting emerging trends in demography, investment returns, regulatory changes, and market cycles.
