Senior Actuarial Analyst

Your role at a glance

We have a fantastic opportunity for a part-nearly qualified actuary to join the post-sale team of our market-leading Pension Risk Transfer business as a Senior Actuarial Analyst.

In this role you will focus on managing the arrangements agreed following a DB Pension Risk Transfer (PRT) deal. Which will involve maintaining ongoing relationships with numerous reinsurers, and potentially Trustee counterparts too.

You will also provide calculations relating to post-sale pricing, reinsurance, longevity insurance, and collateral arrangements.

This role would be ideal for someone with existing knowledge of Defined Benefit Pension Schemes and/or experience working at either a Pension Consultancy or another Life Insurer; however, we are open to candidates from other backgrounds as well.

This is a hybrid working opportunity, which means you can split your working week flexibly between your home and our London office in Moorgate to help achieve a work-life balance which suits you.

What you'll be doing

• Proactively supporting the Actuarial Manager in providing post-sale monitoring and calculations relating to buy-in/out pricing, reinsurance, longevity insurance and collateral arrangements.
• Helping to on-board new PRT reinsurance arrangements, including reviewing, and providing comments to draft contracts and models.
• Providing the highest level of support to internal and external clients including consultants, trustees, and reinsurers.
• Supporting and checking the work of the Operations Analyst in our Collateral and Reinsurance Services team.
• Providing actuarial support to projects relevant to the wider PRT new business team.

What we're looking for

• Part-nearly qualified actuary who is making good progress with the actuarial exams.
• Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong time management skills with the ability to work to tight deadlines to ensure project delivery.
• Knowledge of Defined Benefit Pension schemes, and associated valuation techniques e.g. triennial valuations (would be highly advantageous)

Benefits

When you commit to Legal & General, we’ll commit to you too. That means we’ll recognise and reward your hard work, your performance and your contribution.

If you join us, you’ll get access to some great benefits, including private medical insurance, at least 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays), a generous pension scheme, life assurance, and Income Protection. You can participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice. We’re also proud to offer competitive family leave.

You’ll have the opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes. And then there are the many discounts we offer that you can take advantage of – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online offerings.

Legal & General runs a highly regarded Actuarial Rotations Programme for students, which you will be a part of. The role you are applying to is part of our rotational program, designed to further develop and enhance your skills, and as part of this program you will be expected to rotate in both of our sites in London and Hove.

About the business area

Securing pensions over the long term can be a challenge for many businesses. Our ambition at Legal & General Retirement Institutional (LGRI) is to help companies and pension scheme trustees honour their defined benefit pension promises to their employees. We’re helping companies settle their pension liabilities so they can focus on growing their businesses, as well as helping to support their members’ financial security in retirement. And we’re investing for the long term to back our pension promises. In the last 30 years we’ve written more UK business than any other insurer, and we currently look after more than half a million pension policyholders. We're the UK’s longest-serving active bulk annuity provider, and a market-leading, multi-award winning business.
