Your new company
Are you looking for an opportunity that takes you out of your comfort zone?
A role that offers great autonomy, where you can get your hands dirty?
A role that involves high-level exposure, including explaining complex projects to **director level** management?

If the answer is yes, then this could be the ideal role for you.

My client works within Public Services and is seeking a Principal Pensions Actuary to join its Insights & Modelling team. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to high‑impact work that supports millions of savers across the UK.

Your new role
As a senior member of the team, you will:

- Deliver high‑quality actuarial advice on funding and risk across occupational pension schemes.
- Provide thought leadership and training on actuarial and pensions matters across the organisation.
- Help shape strategy and the evidence base behind policy development and regulatory decisions.
- Lead modelling initiatives to support regulatory interventions and external publications.
- Represent the organisation externally with advisers, industry bodies and stakeholders.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, ideally bringing 3+ years’ post‑qualification experience. You’ll have a strong technical foundation and a deep understanding of DB and/or DC pension arrangements, as well as UK pensions legislation and the wider regulatory landscape.

You will be an excellent communicator, able to translate complex actuarial concepts into clear, engaging insights for a wide range of audiences. Alongside this, you’ll bring strong stakeholder and project management skills, balancing competing priorities while maintaining high‑quality outputs.

You’ll also be highly proficient in Excel and confident using the broader Microsoft Office suite.

What you'll get in return
Along with a competitive base salary of up to c. £90,000, you’ll benefit from a hybrid working model, with the expectation of being in the office just six days per month and working remotely for the remainder. You will also enjoy an excellent Civil Service Pension, with average employer contributions of 27%, offering a highly valuable and secure long‑term benefit.

Flexible working options are available to support a healthy work–life balance.
