Location: Croydon office location with hybrid working

Salary: £50,000 to £56,000 per annum plus Civil Service Pension

Contract Type: Permanent

Position type: Full Time

At the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), we provide security in retirement for our members and millions of people throughout the UK who belong to defined benefit (DB) pension schemes. Through the PPF and Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS), we compensate members for their pensions after the employer funding their pension becomes insolvent. In total, we look after over 400,000 members across the PPF and FAS. With over £30 billion in assets under management, our investments support long-term economic growth across the UK.

Our award-winning team of around 450 professionals has earned the IPE UK Pension Fund of the Year title three times in seven years. We work closely with government and industry partners to improve outcomes for scheme members, employers, and the broader pension system—playing a vital role in strengthening retirement security nationwide.

We’re looking for a Quantitative Analyst to join our Actuarial Risk & Modelling team; an specialist group responsible for delivering the quantitative insights that underpin the PPF’s financial resilience.

This role will be working at the heart of our actuarial function, where you’ll play a key role in assessing the risks to our long‑term funding objective by harnessing the power of our sophisticated stochastic models, including the Long‑Term Risk Model (LTRM) and Economic Scenario Model (ESM). In this highly analytical role, you’ll manage and deliver the team’s regular reporting and analysis cycle, ensuring the integrity of processes from end to end.

You will also lead ad‑hoc modelling projects that support strategic decision‑making across the organisation. To do this, you’ll build a deep understanding of how our models work, how they interact, and how they inform our view of the future. As an experienced analyst, you’ll also provide support, coaching, and direction to junior team members.

We’re seeking someone educated to graduate level in a scientific discipline, or with equivalent experience, equipped with strong knowledge of statistics and probabilities. You’ll bring hands‑on experience managing complex analytical processes within a financial institution or consultancy environment, along with practical exposure to Economic Scenario Models or Generators. A solid grasp of statistical methods, stochastic modelling techniques, and the behaviour of yield curves and asset returns is essential.

If you are motivated by analytical challenges, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to make a meaningful contribution within a mission‑driven organisation, we encourage you to apply.

We’ll also give you lots of opportunities for personal development and skills training.
