We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders. 

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.  

Our Group Functions provide the services that all areas of the business need. This requires a talented and diverse team behind the scenes, who enable everyone at L&G to do what they do best.

  • Working closely with Finance Transformation colleagues to deliver agreed changes in a timely manner
  • Managing stakeholder relationships through proactive communication and clear explanation of process or procedural changes
  • Engaging with teams across Group Finance to influence continuous improvement and support transformation priorities, whilst also ensuring that proposed changes meet their expectations
  • Ensuring appropriate processes, systems and controls are in place to support Treating Customers Fairly requirements

Qualifications

Who we’re looking for:

  • Qualified Life Actuary or equivalent relevant experience (e.g. Actuarial Model/Systems Developer)
  • Demonstrable knowledge of Assets & UK Pension Scheme liabilities, IFRS & Solvency II Reporting metrics and Risk & Regulatory requirements
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to assess issues and develop effective solutions
  • Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with a wide range of stakeholders, adapting style to different audiences
  • Ability to influence and collaborate effectively across teams by building and maintaining strong relationships
  • Experience in process and controls analysis with a track record of delivering required improvements
  • Ability to learn modelling and data tools such as VBA, R or PowerBI
  • A proactive, flexible approach and the ability to work effectively in a changing environment

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

  • A competitive salary
  • The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes 
  • Generous pension contribution 
  • Life assurance  
  • Private medical insurance
  • 27 days holiday, plus public holidays. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
  • Competitive family leave
  • Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice
  • There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
