Build a career with impact
Making a decision about what career path to take is an overwhelming one. Because we work across many different sectors, there are lots of opportunities to try new things and hone your skills. We offer a range of internships and a fantastic graduate programme that will help you learn the technical skills you need as well as connecting you to incredible people.
Many people who joined as a graduate, including our CEO, have gone on to become Partners at the firm. We want to give you the tools and knowledge so you can have a fulfilling career.
Applications for LCP's Graduate Programme and Summer Internship Programme will open late Summer 2024 for opportunities in 2025.
What Department could you work in?
LCP offers early careers roles across a range of departments, as summarised below. Our programme is not on rotation, so we recommend you research the different departments before deciding which role(s) to apply for based on your skills and interests.
Pensions actuarial consulting
We ensure the smooth running of thousands of defined benefit (DB) pension schemes in the UK. We help the trustees responsible for running those schemes, and companies who sponsor them, by providing advice to help them appropriately manage their risks and ensure good outcomes for members. The wide-ranging work we do includes complex modelling/valuing of benefits, strategic advice on negotiations and broking high value insurance transactions.
Investment Consulting
Investors need to identify strategies and investment opportunities that meet their financial goals but also their values and beliefs. Understanding how to do both at the same time can be challenging, but is becoming increasingly necessary. We offer cutting edge tools, a wide breadth of research and expertise to help a range of investors monitor their investments, navigate new opportunities and unchartered territories.
Insurance
We help insurers address the big challenges facing the market today. We provide them with analytics, systems, data and advice to help them understand their exposure and maintain sufficient assets and capital: ultimately this allows them to ensure that their customers are protected, treated fairly, and can be safe from unforeseen events. We offer two types of insurance roles - consulting and analytics - search our vacancies to find job descriptions for each. (London office only)
DC Investment and Governance
Nearly everyone in the UK who is in a workplace pension scheme is saving in a defined contribution (DC) scheme. We help trustees of trust-based DC schemes as well as employers ensure the financial reward package for their employees are effective and future-proofed, and ultimately support positive retirement outcomes for their members as well as the current financial wellbeing of their employees. (London office only)
Energy Modelling & Data Analytics
LCP Delta, our energy team, has passionate people using data, insights and models across supply and demand-side markets. We have a mission to accelerate the energy transition globally, supporting a range of clients from energy giants to start-ups, traders to strategists, investors to manufacturers. Within our graduate and intern programmes, you will have the opportunity to learn to code, analyse energy market data, and develop an in-depth knowledge of the energy markets.
Pensions & Investment Technology
We develop and maintain a range of models for our Pensions and Investment departments. Our aim is to take complex real-world problems and help to solve them using technology. The technology we are responsible for helps client-facing teams produce advice that is clear, timely and informative and helps our clients understand complex problems so they can take appropriate actions.
Pensions Management Consulting
Good governance is the bedrock of a well-run pension scheme. Without good governance, the trustees are unlikely to achieve good outcomes for members. We help a wide range of trustee boards and sponsors to effectively manage their pension schemes. We provide trustee secretarial, trustee executive, governance consulting and project management support. (London office only)

What will I do day-to-day as a graduate?
The work you will do day-to-day will vary depending on which department you join. In the early years, your day-to-day work is likely to involve a combination of:
- Training to help you build your expertise in the relevant areas.
- Helping carry out the modelling and analysis that underpins our advice to clients.
- Liaising with other parties also involved in our work, both internally in LCP and externally.
- Attending client meetings alongside senior colleagues, to help develop your presentation and networking skills.
As you progress through your career, there will be an increasing focus on leading client projects, fronting advice to clients, managing junior project teams, and building/sustaining strong client relationships.
Working as a summer intern
As a summer intern you will get involved in the same work as our graduate trainees. You will be part of a whole variety of projects and be given real responsibility from day one.
Joining any one of our key business areas you'll work on a range of clients from FTSE 100 and global companies to smaller private firms. Your tasks will include calculations by hand, writing spreadsheets and drafting letters and reports for our clients.
You'll work alongside a number of colleagues, from recently recruited graduates to experienced partners of the firm - giving you a chance to find out about their experiences of the work we do and LCP.
What's more, we are keen to present you with opportunities to meet clients. So we'll do our best to take you along to client meetings during your internship. Then you'll see first-hand what being a consultant is really about.
