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

 
 ExactVAL has almost 20-yearsâ€™ 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.

 <h2>About the Role</h2>
 
 Youâ€™ll be part of our technical actuarial team, setting up, reviewing, and enhancing models that support DB scheme valuationsâ€”most often in the context of insurance buy-out markets. You wonâ€™t be siloed; youâ€™ll work across different schemes with a variety of team members and projects.
 
 
 Weâ€™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.

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

 <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>

 <li>Competitive salary</li>
 <li>Actuarial study support</li>
 <li>Generous holiday package</li>
