Graduate Actuarial Actuarial Services Bristol 2021

Job description

As one of the UK’s largest Actuarial practices we're market leaders providing insights and solutions for all businesses that face significant and complex risks. We play an important role in supporting clients through uncertain times. Actuaries analyse how future events could affect businesses and we calculate the impact these event could have on our clients. Using our risk and analytical skills and predictive insights, we calculate the impact of changing demographics or legislation on pension schemes, the effects that changes in financial markets have on different organisations, or how likely a business is to be hit by an earthquake. You’ll learn how to use complex financial and statistical theories to weigh up the risks and estimate the odds of what might happen. Just as important, you’ll develop a flair for presenting your findings in simple, easy‑to‑understand language. What’s more, early client exposure will broaden your experience.

 


The Risk Modelling Services (RMS) team has offices in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol and Mumbai. We are one of the largest growth areas within our Risk Assurance practice, working across a broad range of clients in sectors including insurance, healthcare, banking, investments and wider business modelling. Within the team we have a blend of actuaries, data scientists and advanced analytics practitioners who apply cutting edge technology to solve a variety of client problems.

Our people are encouraged to take responsibility at an early stage and proactively develop their career. We seek to develop accomplished consultants, not just technically strong analysts. This means exposure to a wide range of project situations, often working with specialists from other disciplines within PwC such as Transaction Services, Regulatory, Risk Advisory, Corporate Finance, Business Recovery/Restructuring, Forensics and Tax.

What you'll do

We're looking for people with a passion for big data, modelling and data science who also have an interest in risk. No two projects will be the same and you will gain access to a multitude of skills and industries.

Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

  • Uncovering trends and themes within data to address key questions posed by our client
  • Providing clear and concise communication of complex concepts to internal and external senior management to help clients make robust, evidence based decisions
  • Working in multidisciplinary teams with our clients to use data analysis, visualisation and modelling to better quantify and understand risks facing businesses across a multitude of sectors
  • Learning how businesses work, with a particular focus on financial forecasting, stress and scenario testing, risk evaluation and modelling alongside data science techniques.
  • Drafting reports and presentations and using data visualisation to explain our findings

Programme

Our graduate training programme is underpinned by a development framework that broadens and deepens your knowledge. You'll learn from hands-on coaching and an outstanding variety of work, picking up business, personal and technical skills you can use across the network, and throughout your career.

What you’ll gain

  • A blend of commercial, technical, financial and data experiences working with iconic clients across industry sectors and countries
  • Structured technical training in a suite of data analytics/visualisation tools (e.g. Alteryx, Tableau, Power BI, Qlikview) and structured accounting and finance training (where relevant)
  • A broad base of analytical skills spanning data science, visualisation and financial modelling
  • Communication skills and business acumen through interaction with and presentation to a wide range of stakeholders at the client, including CFOs, and CEOs
  • Opportunity to develop project management and interpersonal skills, allowing you to build collaborative working relationships at all levels.
  • You will be engaging directly with senior members of our clients, solving their business problems and helping them generate value whilst working alongside leading professionals in fields such as Big Data, Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning and Data Visualisation.

What you’ll need

You'll need to have or be on course for a 2.1. degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course for a 2.1. based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study. The subject of your degree is not important; however, you'll need to demonstrate a passion for a career in technology and how organisations use it.

Do you need a work permit?
