Director – Defined Pensions Actuarial

Director – Defined Benefit Pensions Actuarial
Manchester or Glasgow | Hybrid working
Six-figure base salary + bonus | Strategic leadership role

We’re working with a well-established, growth-focused actuarial consultancy to appoint two Directors into their Defined Benefit Pensions practice — one in Manchester and one in Glasgow.

This is a genuine leadership opportunity for an experienced DB pensions actuary who wants real influence: over people, clients and the direction of the business, not just delivery.

You’ll join an existing senior leadership team and take responsibility for a significant DB client portfolio, with scope to shape strategy, develop people and influence how the practice grows.

This is not a “title-only” Director role. You’ll be trusted to make decisions, backed to invest in your team, and given the space to put your own stamp on the practice.

• Leading and developing a high-performing DB pensions actuarial team
• Holding responsibility for key client relationships and complex advisory work
• Playing a central role in practice strategy, growth and innovation
• Working closely with fellow Directors and Partners nationally
• Acting as a senior technical and commercial voice within the business
• Helping shape the future direction of the DB offering in a changing market

You’re likely to be:

• A qualified pensions actuary with extensive DB experience
• Currently operating at Senior Manager, Associate Director or Director level
• Comfortable balancing technical leadership, people leadership and client responsibility
• Looking for a role with greater influence, visibility and progression potential

• Six-figure base salary (competitive within the DB market)
• Bonus linked to personal and business performance
• Hybrid working with flexibility around office presence
• Strong culture of trust, autonomy and professional respect
• Clear long-term career trajectory within a growing practice

• A leadership role with real scope, not just oversight
• A business that is investing in its DB practice, not winding it down
• The chance to influence how DB advisory evolves in a modern consultancy
• A supportive, collaborative leadership culture rather than a political one

Given the seniority of this role, confidential conversations are encouraged.

If you’d like an initial, informal discussion to understand the scope, expectations and culture before applying, please get in touch.
