Actuarial Pensions Graduate Programme

Job Details

Actuarial Pensions Graduate Programme

Programme overview

A fast-changing world can create a lot of opportunity for businesses, but it also creates new risks. We offer our clients leading advice on pension risk. Our teams work within a multi-disciplinary environment across a number of specialist areas, covering a range of industry sectors. The global nature of our business allows our people to develop and grow based on their own personal goals and objectives.

Technology and innovation are key in delivering solutions to our clients. We use actuarial valuation and liability modelling software to help clients understand their pension risk. We have also developed apps and platforms for clients using Python and “R”.

What you will be doing

• Analysing data to identify trends and insights, communicating with clients, writing reports and presenting your work.
• Applying actuarial concepts and modelling techniques to derive EY’s view on financial assumptions.
• Building proposals for new business pitches.
• Completing actuarial audits of pension schemes.
• Supporting the investment governance and oversight team in selecting, monitoring and researching fiduciary managers.
• Carrying out due diligence on the pension aspects in a corporate transaction (merger and acquisitions).
• Collaborate with insurers to arrange risk transfers and play a pivotal role in securing pension benefits.
• Providing support on advising clients in relation to their pensions and related risks.

Eligibility for applying

We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will, however, need to be working towards an honours degree in a numbers-based subject like Maths, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Economics, Computer Science or Technology, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, or in your home language if you do not hold English Language GCSE, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent), including an A grade at A Level/Higher Maths (or equivalent carrying at least 48 UCAS points) to be eligible to apply.

We welcome applications from all academic backgrounds and are looking for individuals who will succeed at EY in the desired role and future qualifications, therefore throughout our recruitment process your academic performance will be considered against your online assessment scores to determine your suitability for an EY role. We are also proud to partner with RARE recruitment, so that your application can be processed in the context of your socio-economic background. This allows us to give you the maximum credit for your achievements, assessing whether you have overachieved in light of your personal circumstances.

Eligibility for visa sponsorship

Please see visa sponsorship details below for this programme, for locations: Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, and London.

Visa sponsorship is available for this position on a limited basis. EY’s ability to make an offer of employment is subject to the UK immigration rules in force at the relevant time. This position is one that meets the current thresholds required for sponsorship by EY.  Please note, however, that EY has a set number of Certificate of Sponsorship applications that can be made each year. If you require sponsorship and this limit is reached and/or UK immigration rules are not capable of being met, this will prevent EY from being able to sponsor you and we will not be able to progress your application.

We can sponsor using the Skilled Worker visa New Entrant salary threshold for this particular vacancy. Your eligibility for the New Entrant rate must subsist for the entire duration of the Graduate programme (please refer to the section ‘Programme length’).

The criteria to be eligible for the New Entrant rate are (subject to change by the UK Government): you’re under 26 on the date you apply; you’re currently in the UK on a student visa studying at bachelor’s degree level or above; you’re currently in the UK on a Graduate visa and your total stay in the UK by the end of your EY Graduate programme plus the date you applied for your Graduate visa will be less than 4 years. Each visa application is unique to the individual and there may be other criteria which mean you are not eligible for visa sponsorship. EY will assess your individual circumstances and we may be required to withdraw your application or offer of employment if EY cannot sponsor your visa.
