Ottawa, Ontario, Canada BWD Search & Selection Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

I'm working with a well-established, independent actuarial consultancy that is looking to hire a
Pensions Actuary.
The firm has a strong reputation for client service, low staff turnover, and a genuinely collaborative working culture.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys
hands-on technical work
,
client-facing responsibilities
, and mentoring junior actuaries, without the bureaucracy that comes with a large firm.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading actuarial valuations for a range of DB and hybrid pension plans (including multi-employer schemes)
  • Advising on funding strategies, plan design changes, and regulatory compliance
  • Presenting directly to trustee boards and plan sponsors with clear, commercially-minded advice
  • Overseeing the development of models for projections, sensitivity testing, and risk analysis
  • Reviewing work from analysts and juniors, providing technical guidance and mentorship
  • Staying up to date with regulatory changes and contributing to thought leadership initiatives

What They're Looking For

  • Qualified actuary (FCIA, FIA, FSA or equivalent), with
    8 to 10+ years' experience
    in pensions consulting
  • Strong knowledge of valuation techniques, funding strategies, and risk frameworks
  • Experience working with multi-employer plans or public sector clients is a plus
  • Solid understanding of accounting standards and pension legislation in your jurisdiction
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust with clients and colleagues
  • Comfortable managing projects, delivering high-quality work, and taking ownership

Why This Role?

  • Join a
    tight-knit team
    where your input is genuinely valued
  • Work across a
    broad and interesting client base
    from smaller single-employer plans to larger, more complex schemes
  • Real
    leadership potential
    for those who enjoy mentoring and developing others
  • Competitive salary, strong benefits, and
    flexible working arrangements
  • A firm that prioritizes
    quality over volume
    and values long-term client relationships

If you're a pensions actuary ready to step into a role where your impact will be visible and appreciated, I'd love to speak with you.
