About Phoenix Group

Phoenix Group is a UK life and pensions group whose consumer brand is Standard Life, and its careers site now lives under standardlifeplc.com: thephoenixgroup.com/careers redirects there. Alongside individual professional roles, it runs an Actuarial Trainee Scheme in Birmingham and Edinburgh and a Leadership programme, referred to on its own careers site as the Accelerator programme, with a London base among other UK offices. The one live role we track is a Junior Quantitative Engineer within its Quantitative Engineering Liability team in the Retirement Solutions and Asset Management (RSAM) function, based in London.

Standard Life's general how-we-hire page describes a two-step process: an online application, then an interview. Its own named early-careers programmes publish more detail: the Actuarial Trainee Scheme states 'There are three steps in the application process: An online application Telephone interview Assessment centre', and the Leadership programme states four 'Application steps': 'Step 1 Apply online Step 2 Telephone interview Step 3 Psychometric assessments Step 4 Assessment centre'.

Standard Life's careers hub publishes no fixed application window for its general roles. The live Junior Quantitative Engineer posting itself states 'Closing Date: 25th Sept 2026'. We first confirmed this listing live on 9 September 2026.

• The live Junior Quantitative Engineer posting publishes pay: "Salary and benefits: £55,000 - £75,000 plus discretionary bonus, private medical cover, 38 days annual leave, excellent pension, 12x salary life assurance, career breaks, income protection, 3x volunteering days and much more."
• The same posting asks for a "University Degree or ideally Masters' Degree or higher in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, Actuarial Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related field."
• The Actuarial Trainee Scheme's degree bar is stated separately: "You'll have (or be on track to achieve) a degree 2.1 or above in an analytically-based subject. We also expect you to have an A grade at A level, Higher, or equivalent in Mathematics."
