The Role
You'll work across a range of clients, each with their own priorities, dividing your time between pensions actuarial and pension risk transfer work — the split is flexible depending on your strengths and interests. Everyone in the department has their own client mix, so you'll work with lots of different people to advise a range of clients.
- Coordinate actuarial calculations with less experienced colleagues and review those calculations along with the associated advice.
- Within the pension risk transfer team, take a central role in broking insurance transactions, liaising and negotiating with insurers, attending meetings and managing projects.
- Work on schemes of varying size, from small to large and complex.
- Take opportunities to join other specialist teams, for example covering longevity, GMP equalisation and Collective Defined Contribution schemes.
- Attend industry networking events.
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.
