Associate Risk Transfer Consultant

As an Associate Risk Transfer Consultant, you'll play a key role in helping clients manage and reduce pension risk by supporting transactions that transfer liabilities to the insurance market. Your work will focus primarily on UK defined benefit pension schemes, partnering with both Trustee Boards and Sponsoring Employers to deliver thoughtful, high-quality advice at critical decision points.

You'll join our high-performing Risk Transfer Team at Hymans, working on a wide range of projects in a growing and dynamic specialism. The role offers genuine variety, strong collaboration across disciplines, and excellent opportunities to build expertise and shape a career path aligned to your interests and strengths.

While we're keen to hear from candidates with relevant experience, we're equally open to enthusiastic individuals who are motivated to develop their career in pension risk transfer and grow with the team. As part of our wider actuarial consultancy, there's also scope to remain involved in ongoing trustee and corporate actuarial work, should you wish.

* We are open to considering candidates on a part time or full-time basis*

You'll support the delivery of multiple risk transfer projects, working closely with colleagues and clients to ensure advice is clear, robust and well-managed. Acting as a key point of contact, you'll help coordinate work across teams, contribute to high-quality client outputs, and play an active role in building trusted relationships.

Day-to-day, you'll balance technical work with project management, collaboration and client engagement - developing both your technical expertise and broader consultancy skills along the way.
