• Associate or Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, or equivalent, with relevant risk transfer and bulk annuity experience, is preferred but not essential.
• Relevant pensions experience and understanding of UK pension scheme legislation, bulk annuity transactions, and buy-out processes.
• Solid grounding in actuarial and computer techniques.
