Actuarial Pensions Graduate Programme – September 2025

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.
• You’ll be working across a portfolio of clients assigned to you. This will involve a mixture of hybrid working – travelling to client offices, working in the EY office and occasionally from home. It will vary by client/project and will depend on the requirements of both the client and project team.
