Risk Analytics Change Manager (6-month FTC)

Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor.

We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders.

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.

L&G Institutional Retirement looks after around 700,000 institutional customers who have their retirement benefits secured with us. Operating continuously in the UK market from our entrance in 1987, we are the UK’s longest-running insurer.

Our Institutional Retirement division provides pension risk transfer (PRT) solutions for UK and US defined benefit (DB) schemes, and reinsurance solutions from our global hub in Bermuda. We work with companies, DB pension schemes and their advisors to help them secure and protect scheme members’ retirement benefits.

Joining us means you’ll support customers’ financial security in retirement; help companies to settle their pension liabilities and focus on growing their businesses; and enable investment for the long term to back our pension promises.

We’re recruiting for a Risk Analytics Change Manager to join us on a 6-month fixed term contract. In this role, you will ensure delivery of assigned initiatives within the Risk Analytics Product Line’s portfolio of change by using your awareness of both the business needs and the Risk Analytics processes and systems to facilitate the design, testing and implementation of appropriate solutions.

What you'll be doing:

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders and suppliers to ensure smooth communication, timely updates, and alignment on change delivery
• Communicating key risks, issues, dependencies, and required inputs early to ensure all parties are informed and operationally ready for go-live
• Supporting the Risk Analytics Lead Technical Change Actuary by advising on model, methodology, and reporting changes that meet business needs without causing regressions
• Identifying technical limitations of proposed solutions, assessing their impact on business outcomes, and recommending mitigation strategies
• Delivering Risk Analytics projects within agreed budgets, timelines, and quality standards by collaborating with internal teams and third parties, and aligning with L&G governance frameworks
• Leading or supporting requirements gathering and impact assessments using actuarial analysis, modelling, and stakeholder input to define and document specifications and acceptance criteria
• Ensuring thorough testing and validation of deliverables throughout the development lifecycle to confirm they meet business and IT acceptance criteria and are fit for purpose
• Managing the integration of changes into BAU operations through updated documentation, stakeholder training, and ongoing communication to support adoption and benefit realisation

Who we're looking for:

• Similar experience within a risk analytics or actuarial background
• Previous project delivery experience
• Excellent communication, collaboration and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and steer key stakeholders
• Strong collaboration skills
• Ability to self-manage, support multiple concurrent projects, balance conflicting strategies, priorities and work in a dynamic environment

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
• At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
• Competitive family leave
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
• There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all. 

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can. 

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
