Our actuaries solve key business problems in a complex and dynamic environment. Actuaries play a crucial role in the commercial success of our business, as well as contributing to how effectively we manage risk.

We have designed our graduate programme to offer you experience in a variety of areas where actuaries support our business. This ranges from developing the right products for our customers to financial reporting, investment strategy to enterprise risk management.

As well as our wider graduate development programme we will help you work towards your professional exams. We offer generous study leave, in-house tutoring and mentoring. This might be why our pass rate for trainees has been consistently higher than the national average.

You will need an analytical mind, logical decision making abilities, strong problem solving capabilities and excellent communication skills. Plus, you will enjoy working as part of a dynamic team.

When you work at Standard Life we commit to growing your career and expertise by acknowledging your talent, rewarding you well, providing you with market-leading benefits and a great working environment.
