As part of this role you’ll be working in Isio’s Actuarial & Consulting team, consisting of over 400 pensions consultants and actuaries advising a diverse range of clients and stakeholders across the private, public and not‑for‑profit sectors. We advise on everything from helping trustees and sponsors to manage their defined benefit plans, running large scale communications projects and implementing alternative reward and pension provision.

It’s a fast‑growing team and one that gives everyone the chance to influence how we develop the offering going forward.

What does the role entail?

• Responsible for the delivery of client work to the Scheme Actuary or senior colleague – including managing timescales, stakeholders and budgets.

• Enthusiasm and motivation – a great deal of desire to solving problems and delivering excellent advice.
• Excellent project management and client delivery skills – especially when balancing multiple demands.
• A great team worker – this will either be as part of a team, or managing a team, depending on your experience.
