Job

LCP is an award-winning actuarial and analytics consultancy providing advice on pensions, energy, insurance, investments, employee benefits and health. We fuse human expertise with powerful analytics to shape a more positive future for our clients and people.

The Pensions & Investment (P&I) Technology team develops and maintains a range of models that underpins the work of LCP’s Pensions and Investment departments. Our aim is to take complex real-world problems and help to solve them using technology such as monitoring asset portfolios, projecting future benefit payments and asset-liability-modelling for pension schemes.

As an Analyst the nature of the work is variable and dynamic as we need to react quickly to meet the needs of the other departments and LCP’s clients.

The type of work you can expect to be involved in as an analyst in the role include:

• Learn to translate pension and investment concepts into code through our graduate training programme and on-the-job learning with a team of experienced developers. Coding is primarily in C#, with exposure to SQL and front-end technologies.
• Develop software in an agile way, making use of Azure Dev Ops
• Work on our key internal models, like Visualise, writing new functionality and helping solve issues for client teams
• Balance a range of tasks, prioritising accordingly and keeping the team updated on progress of tasks
• Be versatile in working across a range of models where required
• Gain a greater understanding of pensions and investment issues, to help you model them accurately
• Work closely with the pensions and investment experts within the team to ensure new functionality is tested rigorously before release
• Liaise with contacts in the Pensions and Investment departments to understand their requirements for new functionality, feedback on demo models and consider the best ways to implement them
• Liaise with contacts with colleagues to find the best ways to implement new functionality in a way that is consistent with LCP’s coding standards and technological infrastructure

We encourage continuous learning through professional qualifications and personal development training. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside leading professionals in the sector.
