Introduction

Marcuson Consulting specialises in Actuarial Consulting in the general insurance industry, and has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Intern to join our team for Summer 2027.  This internship is well suited to a talented individual who is looking to explore a rewarding career as a general insurance actuary, and could potentially lead to a return graduate offer.

Role description

You will typically be working on consulting or research projects, collaborating closely with other experienced team members and your clients to:

  • Identify your clients’ problems;
  • Assist in solving your clients’ problems, often via actuarial analyses and modelling;
  • Ensure clients’ expectations are managed and met.

Why Marcuson Consulting?

We understand that job applications could take up considerable time in your crucial, final year of university.  At the end of your internship, we may make you an offer if we believe you are a good fit with our company.  Starting your career at Marcuson Consulting, you would benefit from:

  • Ample training opportunities, including formal and on-the-job training with highly experienced actuaries and one-to-one mentoring/coaching;
  • Intellectual stimulation by our diverse range of consulting and secondment projects;
  • A meritocratic, professional yet supportive culture, where we take pride in challenging one another’s opinions in a robust and respectful manner; and
  • Working in small project teams, where you will collaborate directly with senior actuaries from day one.

Diversity and Inclusion
