We offer our 12 million customers products across our market-leading brands, including Standard Life, SunLife and ReAssure, with c.£269 billion of assets under administration. We’re a FTSE 100 organisation that is tackling key issues such as transitioning our portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we’re not done yet.

    We’ve seen huge growth and change, and this means there is enormous opportunity for our colleagues to grow alongside us.

    • Rotate around different business areas to provide you with a more holistic view of the organisation and broader level of experience - this will help you meet the IFoA’s Personal and Professional Development (PPD) requirements, as well as developing your understanding of the needs of different stakeholders

    We know being an Actuary is about more than just technical knowledge. Your personal growth story will include developing professional and soft skills alongside your qualification.
