Risk & Assurance Actuary

Senior Consulting Actuary - Non-Traditional Applied Risk, Strategy & Impact

A highly regarded consulting practice is seeking a qualified actuary to join its expanding advisory team, working on complex, high-impact problems that sit well outside traditional insurance or pensions roles.

This opportunity is designed for actuaries who enjoy applied problem-solving
, strategic thinking, and influencing senior decision-makers - rather than operating within narrow product lines or regulatory frameworks.

The role involves advising on a wide range of bespoke, analytical and strategic engagements
, including:

• Long-term risk and uncertainty modelling
• Assurance and challenge of complex financial and economic analysis
• Strategic funding and investment decisions
• Compensation, remediation and contingent liability frameworks
• Infrastructure, energy and environmental risk
• High-stakes decision-making under uncertainty

Projects are varied, intellectually demanding, and require clear communication of complex concepts to non-technical audiences.

You will:

• Lead and contribute to consulting engagements from scoping through to delivery
• Review, challenge and improve models, assumptions and methodologies
• Translate complex analysis into clear, evidence-based advice
• Work closely with senior stakeholders on sensitive and high-profile issues
• Manage multiple concurrent projects in a consulting environment

This is a role where judgement, curiosity and communication are just as important as technical actuarial expertise.

• Open to senior-level qualified actuaries
  , with entry point depending on experience
• Compensation: circa £90k-£100k initially, with clear scope for rapid progression into more senior bands
• Six-figure compensation achievable through progression rather than external moves
• Exceptional work-life balance relative to most consulting roles
• Outstanding long-term benefits package
  , including a market-leading defined benefit pension

While headline salary may be lower than some private-sector roles, the overall value, stability and lifestyle are highly compelling.

They are keen to speak with qualified actuaries from a GI, Life, Pensions or Consulting background who:

• Are intellectually curious and enjoy variety
• Want to move beyond regulatory-heavy work (e.g. IFRS 17, Solvency II, Matching Adjustments)
• Enjoy influencing decisions rather than producing routine outputs
• Value autonomy, balance and long-term career development

No prior experience in this type of environment is required.

• No product silos
• No regulatory treadmill
• No repetitive reporting cycles
• Genuine breadth and intellectual stretch
• Real-world consequences to your work
• A consulting role designed for sustainability, not burnout
