Many companies say that actuaries are at the heart of their business – and that’s certainly true at Legal & General. The big difference is that our actuaries often end up running our business. In fact, the Managing Director of Annuities, Managing Director of Protection and Head of Corporate Governance are just three of over 13 senior roles held by actuaries in recent years.
The reason is simple. We look for actuaries with the intellectual curiosity and entrepreneurial flair to sharpen our competitive edge and deliver practical results that make a real difference to our performance. So join our team and you will do more than influence our strategic direction. You will enhance our operational effectiveness, drive our product development, shape our marketing initiatives – and work closely with the wider organisation to build on reputation as one of the best known and most highly respected financial services companies in the UK.
As you might expect, the work is incredibly varied. You could be involved in designing new insurance policies, setting premium rates or answering technical queries from policyholders. You may be called on undertake detailed investigations into how assets and expenses have performed. Equally, we could ask you to design and advise on company pension schemes, or to provide quantitative investment research, or to grapple with the practical implications of the Solvency II framework.
We clearly expect a lot from our actuaries, but we give a lot in return. You will enjoy a first-class career environment with the resources and opportunities to accelerate your personal and professional development. This will include excellent training and development, generous study support, regular role rotations and the kind of stimulation that comes with being part of an outstanding peer group.
And your career prospects? Well, with opportunities to progress into senior positions right across our business, they are everything you would expect from a company that invests over £330 billion on behalf of over seven million customers worldwide.
