About us

At Hymans Robertson we play a vital role in helping clients improve their investment strategies to deliver better outcomes for their pension scheme members. Whether working with Defined Benefit (DB) or Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes, our consultants provide strategic advice and governance support to a wide range of clients - from corporate pension plans to public sector schemes.

What’s it like to work at Hymans Robertson?
We asked some of our people what they love most about working at Hymans Robertson. Here's what they had to say...

We are excited to welcome applications for our Pensions Governance and Investment Consulting Graduate Programme, which is a perfect next step for those looking to launch their careers within this field!

What will your role look like?

Depending on your skills and interests, you will be aligned to either our Investment DB or DC Consulting team.

For those aligned to our Investment DB team, you’ll support consultants to deliver tailored investment advice to a wide range of clients across the DB Pensions industry. This will include working on investment strategy, asset allocation, manager selection and governance – helping our clients to manage long-term liabilities and meet their funding goals.

Alternatively, those joining the DC Consulting team will become immersed in the fast-evolving and topical world of DC Pensions. In this role you’ll develop expertise in DC Pension Scheme design, provider platform assessments and at retirement and communications advice for a wide range of trustee and corporate clients.

Though these career pathways are complimentary, they offer distinct opportunities to specialise and build your knowledge. In both cases you’ll collaborate with experienced consultants and analysts to contribute to meaningful client projects and shape the future of workplace savings and member outcomes, as you learn the core principles that drive our industry forward.

We also offer a competitive professional study package, with support towards either obtaining qualification with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), or through the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) programme depending on your longer-term career goals.

We're interested in people who are naturally curious, enjoy working with others and are motivated by solving problems. If you enjoy the following, we think you’ll love this opportunity:

  • Analysing information and drawing meaningful conclusions
  • Building relationships and communicating with different audiences
  • Working with numbers and data
  • Tackling complex challenges
  • Collaborating with colleagues to deliver high-quality work
  • Learning new concepts and developing specialist expertise

In addition to a competitive salary we offer:

  • A flexible selection of employee benefits, so you can choose a package that best matches your lifestyle and needs
  • A collaborative and supportive work environment where your thinking and ideas are encouraged
  • On site mental health and wellbeing support
  • A commitment to helping you develop both personally and professionally, with mentoring opportunities and access to our award-winning learning portal, Aspire
  • Regular social activities

We have opportunities across each of our four UK based offices – in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Birmingham. And we offer hybrid working so you can enjoy the positive wellbeing of working from home as well as the benefits of meeting colleagues in our sociable, modern office environments.

We recruit on a rolling basis, so we'd encourage you to submit your application as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

We've signed the Gradcracker feedback pledge.

Can I use AI to apply?

Our stance is that, where an applicant uses AI to generate all (or a large part) of their answers and then presents this as their own work, this would be considered as cheating. 

AI can't replicate your personal thoughts and feelings or convey your own skills and experiences - and it's these qualities that we are looking to find out more about during the recruitment process.
