Pensions Risk Transfer - London, United Kingdom - PwC

Description

As one of the UK's largest Actuarial practices we're market leaders providing insights and solutions for all businesses that face significant and complex risks.

We play an important role in supporting clients through uncertain times.

Actuaries analyse how future events could affect businesses and we calculate the impact these events could have on our clients.

Using our risk and analytical skills and predictive insights, we calculate the impact of changing demographics or legislation on pension schemes, the effects that changes in financial markets have on different organisations, or how likely a business is to be hit by an earthquake.

The candidate will be client facing and must also have strong technical as well as written and verbal communication skills.

They will need to be driven and passionate about providing a high level of service.
