Actuarial Analyst Jobs

Overview
Following a period of sustained growth and success, and whole host of award wins (inc. the one mentioned about), we are looking to expand our actuarial consulting and analyst teams in our Ipswich office.
If you have a handful of actuarial qualifications and experience of working in the UK Defined Benefit/Final Salary Pension world then let us tell you about all of the great things that we can offer you when it comes to a supportive, collaborative culture, genuine career progression, vastly-varied work and clients to work with.
We are open to any flexible working and part time working requests, and will be as accommodating as possible on these points!
This Will Include
To summarise the role, you will be working within an established team of qualified and part qualified actuaries; acting as an actuarial and consulting assistant for portfolio of clients.

• Providing leadership, feedback and training to actuarial analysts
• Preparing letters, reports and other client materials
