    You’ll be accountable for the design and implementation of solutions, considering business strategy and planning initiatives, as well as providing review and sign-off for team service/projects. And as a leader, you’ll coach and mentor other team members, as well as manage the team and projects.

    Senior actuarial consultant

    You’ll be responsible for managing a portfolio of pension schemes within our pensions consulting area. Our senior actuarial consultants are trusted as scheme actuary to over 200 pension schemes.
