Do you want to use your actuarial knowledge and pension expertise to contribute to the future of the Dutch pension landscape? Then we would love to meet you! The pension sector is in full motion due to the introduction of the new pension system, changing laws and regulations, and increasing attention to risk management and digitalization. This brings complex issues for pension funds, pension providers, and employers. As a (senior) consultant, you help clients deal with these challenges. You will work on diverse projects in the field of financial risk management, pension transitions, and the implementation of the new pension system. Additionally, you support organizations in improving and automating pension processes and contribute ideas for future-proof solutions for their business operations. Due to the diversity of assignments, you will have a dynamic and flexible role in which you collaborate with various clients and colleagues. This offers you the opportunity to further deepen your specialist pension knowledge, while simultaneously developing a broader perspective on actuarial and risk-related issues. In this way, you not only build expertise within the pension profession but also contribute to the further development of the financial sector.
