Pensions Data Services Consultant (Actuarial)

Data Services Actuary (Consultant)
Location: Edinburgh (hybrid, minimum 2 days in the office)

This is a great opportunity to join a leading consultancy with a genuinely collaborative and forward-thinking culture. The business is known for combining deep technical expertise with innovative tech solutions, helping pension schemes tackle complex challenges and make confident decisions about their future.

The Data Services team is expanding fast, driven by growing demand from schemes preparing for buy-ins, buy-outs, and other de-risking activity. You'll be joining a team that sits right at the centre of those strategic projects, helping clients understand, cleanse and make the most of their pension scheme data.

You'll work on a variety of interesting projects, including:

• Preparing scheme data for endgame strategies such as buy-ins, buy-outs, and member option exercises

• Large-scale benefit rectification work such as GMP equalisation, GMP rectification, and Barber window extensions

• Data cleanse and benefit reconstruction projects, helping schemes resolve historical data issues and legacy system challenges

• Reviewing data to support member communication exercises and benefit changes

• Advising clients on data risk and helping shape scheme-level data strategies

It's fast-paced, high-profile work where you'll get to collaborate closely with colleagues across actuarial, administration, and pension risk transfer teams, while using some of the most advanced tools and analytics in the market.

What they're looking for:

• A solid understanding of Defined Benefit pensions and pensions data

• Either a qualified or part-qualified actuary (or someone with actuarial experience who has chosen not to continue exams)

• Experience in a pensions consultancy environment, ideally involving data or de-risking projects

• Strong Excel skills and an interest in technology and process improvement

• Excellent communication and project management skills, with the ability to handle multiple workstreams at once

• A team player who enjoys solving problems, working collaboratively, and building relationships

You'll be joining a firm that genuinely values work-life balance and professional growth. There's plenty of support for learning, hybrid working is well-established (typically 40% in the office), and you'll be surrounded by bright, friendly colleagues who care about doing great work without the corporate edge.

If you're an actuary who enjoys variety, problem-solving and data-driven projects, this could be a brilliant next step.
