We’re looking for a senior investment professional with deep expertise in asset-liability management, strategic asset allocation and capital modelling, who is excited by complex investment challenges across insurance and pensions.
Do you enjoy developing long-term asset return models, advising on capital-efficient investment strategies, and shaping how investment frameworks support business strategy?
Are you looking for a role that combines technical depth, commercial leadership and client-facing advisory work, with real influence over propositions and teams?
If so, this could be a good fit for you.
The Firm
Our client is a global professional services leader, advising insurers, pension schemes and asset managers on some of the most complex investment, capital and risk challenges in the market.
Sitting within their AI & Modelling business, the Life & Investment team operates at the forefront of ALM, stochastic modelling, capital optimisation and investment strategy, supporting clients across life insurance, non-life, Lloyd’s, pensions and asset management.
The team is growing rapidly in response to strong market demand and offers a collaborative, flexible environment with genuine scope to shape both client solutions and the wider advisory proposition.
In this role, you will:
* Take a lead role in growing the firm’s Investment ALM advisory practice.
* Advise insurers, pension funds and asset managers on strategic asset allocation (SAA), ALM and investment strategy.
* Develop and oversee capital market assumptions frameworks and economic scenario generators to model long-term asset returns.
* Support new products and transactions including LTAFs, Collective DC, structured solutions, pension superfunds, M&A and insurance solutions.
* Advise on investment operating models, including technology usage and in-house vs outsourced asset management.
* Structure and assess capital-efficient assets, including assets with highly predictable cashflows and private credit.
* Provide investment expertise into wider actuarial, capital and risk projects.
* Lead client engagements, contribute to commercial propositions and manage high-performing teams with autonomy.
* Work flexibly across office, home and client sites.
Who we’re looking for:

* Insurance and pensions investment risk management
* Experience overseeing technical ALM models (Python experience advantageous).
* Commercially minded with experience leading propositions, engagements or teams.
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality delivery.
You’ll stand out if you have:
* Experience working across insurance balance sheets, capital frameworks and regulatory environments.
* Exposure to private debt investment lifecycles and credit rating methodologies.
* Practical experience with front-office and back-office implementation of investment strategies.
* Comfort operating in a “networked” consulting environment with high autonomy.
Why this role stands out:
* Strategic impact – Shape investment and capital frameworks for leading insurers and pension providers.
* Technical depth – Work on cutting-edge ALM, stochastic modelling and capital optimisation.
* Leadership opportunity – Grow propositions, lead teams and influence market-facing solutions.
