We're growing and want you to be a part of our journey.
Isio is recruiting for a junior or entry level position within our Operational Excellence in Pensions Team where we are at the forefront of enabling schemes to deliver the best outcomes for members.
Working with some of the largest and most complex schemes in the country, we support schemes to deliver their strategic goals by undertaking reviews of pension scheme data, benefit calculations, and processes and controls.
We are focussed on delivering solutions and positive outcomes to our clients and their members.
As part of this role you'll be working in Isio's Actuarial & Consulting team - over 400 pensions consultants and actuaries advising a diverse range of clients and stakeholders across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

The range of work we get involved with is vast and there'll be opportunities for you to gain lots of great, new experiences and put your skills to the test.
Day to day you will be:
- Supporting in the delivery of advice to clients - this may include supporting key client projects, and/or supporting our partners and directors to deliver to our clients.
- As well as being involved in the technical aspects of projects, this will also involve working as part of a team and supporting those around you.
- Assisting managers with the development of new business, both with existing and new clients.

Key skills and experience

As a challenger in the industry, we are looking for individuals with excellent communication skills and a natural aptitude for a consulting career, alongside a commercial outlook and an entrepreneurial mindset.

We work on a hybrid basis, offering the opportunity for colleagues to split their working time between working in the office and at home. You may be required to travel to a client site occasionally.
As a business we are great at building strong communities amongst our employees - both across locations and teams, hosting regular team building, charity, and social events.
