  <h3>Location: St Albans, Hertfordshire (Office or Hybrid)</h3>

  <p>
    ExactVAL has almost 20-years’ experience offering insurers and pension consultancies the facility to outsource DB actuarial valuations, where we provide detailed future cashflow projections as part of this analysis.

  </p>

  <p>
    We are a small friendly team with a mixture of office or hybrid working based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. Current staff include 4 qualified pension actuaries, each with over 25 years’ experience and 6-part qualified actuaries.

  </p>

  <p>
    Now, we’re looking for a <strong>DB Pension Scheme Valuation Specialist</strong> to join us in delivering high-quality valuation work that meets the needs of our growing client base.
  </p>

  <h2>About the Role</h2>
  <p>
    You’ll be part of our technical actuarial team, setting up, reviewing, and enhancing models that support DB scheme valuations—most often in the context of insurance buy-out markets. You won’t be siloed; you’ll work across different schemes with a variety of team members and projects.
  </p>
  <p>
    We’ll provide full training on our proprietary software (Mon.et) and internal processes, but your pensions experience, curiosity, and technical mindset will be key to your success.
  </p>

  <h2>Key Responsibilities</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Reviewing scheme documentation and RFQs</li>
    <li>Preparing, testing, and mapping data</li>
    <li>Working with our Mon.et software to set up valuation models</li>
    <li>Checking outputs and drafting short reports</li>
    <li>Responding to client queries as they arise</li>
    <li>Identifying and supporting opportunities to improve internal processes</li>
    <li>Supporting GMP equalisation work where required</li>
  </ul>

  <h2>Who We’re Looking For</h2>
  <p>
    You could be a qualified actuary or a part-qualified student — either way, you have relevant pensions experience and enjoy the technical side of actuarial work. You’ll be comfortable working collaboratively in a flat team structure without the pressure of managing people or owning client relationships.
  </p>

  <h3>Must-have Skills & Experience</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>Experience in UK defined benefit pensions</li>
    <li>Excellent Excel skills</li>
    <li>Detail-oriented with a process improvement mindset</li>
    <li>Strong communication and written skills</li>
    <li>A team-first attitude</li>
    <li>Right to work in the UK (unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available)</li>
  </ul>

  <h3>Nice-to-have</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>GMP equalisation experience</li>
  </ul>

  <h2>What We Offer</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Competitive salary</li>
    <li>Actuarial study support</li>
    <li>Generous holiday package</li>
    <li>Flexible working arrangements (office or hybrid)</li>
    <li>Start date: ASAP</li>
  </ul>

  <p>
    At ExactVAL, you’ll be surrounded by seasoned actuaries, solving real challenges from day one. If you enjoy working with data, solving puzzles, and producing meaningful outputs in a supportive environment—this is the role for you.
