Register Your Interest - Pensions Governance & Investment Consulting Graduate Programme 2027

At Hymans Robertson we play a vital role in helping clients improve their investment strategies to deliver better outcomes for their pension scheme members. Whether working with Defined Benefit (DB) or Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes, our consultants provide strategic advice and governance support to a wide range of clients - from corporate pension plans to public sector schemes.

We are excited to welcome applications for our Pensions Governance and Investment Consulting graduate programme, which is a perfect next step for those looking to launch their careers within this field!

What will your role look like?

Depending on your skills and interests, you will be aligned to either our Investment DB or DC Consulting team.

For those aligned to our Investment DB team, you’ll support consultants to deliver tailored investment advice to a wide range of clients across the DB Pensions industry. This will include working on investment strategy, asset allocation, manager selection and governance – helping our clients to manage long-term liabilities and meet their funding goals.

Alternatively, those joining the DC Consulting team will become immersed in the fast-evolving and topical world of DC Pensions. In this role you’ll develop expertise in DC Pension Scheme design, provider platform assessments and at retirement and communications advice for a wide range of trustee and corporate clients.

Though these career pathways are complimentary, they offer distinct opportunities to specialise and build your knowledge. In both cases you’ll collaborate with experienced consultants and analysts to contribute to meaningful client projects and shape the future of workplace savings and member outcomes, as you learn the core principles that drive our industry forward.

Our programmes also come with a competitive study support package for either the IFoA or CFA depending on your longer-term career goals.

If you enjoy the following, we think you’ll love this opportunity:

• Building relationships and communicating with people
• Working with large sets of detailed data and other forms of information
• Solving complex problems
• A fun and fast-paced working environment, where you are encouraged to collaborate with your colleagues
• Being adaptable and flexible in your approach to tasks

You don’t need to be joining us from a purely maths, economics or actuarial science based degree programme to excel in this role, as we recognise that any University degree will give you an amazing set of transferable skills that are valuable in any workplace. However, we do require you to have the ability to work well with numbers.

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer:

• A flexible selection of employee benefits, so you can choose a package that best matches your lifestyle and needs
• A collaborative and supportive work environment where your thinking and ideas are encouraged
• On site mental health and wellbeing support
• A commitment to helping you develop both personally and professionally, with mentoring opportunities and access to our award winning learning portal, Aspire
• Regular social activities
