    Actuarial – Pensions

    A fast-changing world can create a lot of opportunity for businesses, but it also creates new risks. We offer our clients expert-led 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 in Actuarial

    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".

      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.
