Description:

We are seeking a talented individual to kick start their career in our Actuarial Consulting team within Marsh Investments and Retirement. This role can be based in Melbourne or Sydney. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

As a Graduate Analyst, you will provide valuable support to our senior consultants, working across superannuation (both defined benefit and defined contribution) and life insurance within superannuation, giving you the opportunity to create your own career pathway based on interests and skills, supported by a buddy and your people manager.

This role requires a unique blend of capabilities, including client-facing consulting, research and analysis, quantitative modelling, report writing and importantly a curious mind asking ‘why?’ and ‘how can this be even better?’ to deliver the best outcome for our clients.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside Marsh’s leading Actuarial consultants to solve complex problems including business sustainability and efficiency, competitive product offerings, and retirement income strategies.

We are looking for individuals who are:

• Curious and have a passion to grow
• Strong communicators  
• Interested in generating data-driven insights  
• Inclusive, collaborative team members
• Willing to roll-up their sleeves  
• Individuals recently graduated or in their final year with a numerate degree and an interest or experience in the actuarial field

We provide you with:

• A dedicated ‘buddy’ to help you kick start your career through daily support, mentoring, and training
• Exam and study assistance so you can pursue your actuarial certification
• Ad hoc and structured flexible working arrangements to support commitments outside of work 
• An inclusive culture with a range of colleague networks such as PRIDE, Women @ Marsh and Marsh Cares 
• ‘Dress to suit’ your day, whether you’re in the office or working remotely (more an expectation than provision)
• Collaborative team environment with regular social activities
• Initiatives and financial reimbursements to help you manage your health and wellness 
• One day of paid volunteer leave a year with matching of donations through our Social Impact platform
• Potential opportunities to pursue a global career

If you have a strong client focus, enjoy solving complex problems, have a keen eye for detail and have a passion for creating better lives, then we need you to help Australia’s largest investors and superannuation funds navigate some of the biggest challenges of our time.
