Confidence in your impact today | Freedom to build tomorrow

EY is expanding its market-leading Non-Life Actuarial practice and is looking for experienced professionals who want to make impact across the Dutch insurance market. As part of our Financial Risk Management team, you will combine actuarial expertise, audit exposure, model validation and strategic advisory work. A significant part of the role involves supporting external audits of insurers, where you will bring actuarial and quantitative expertise to the largest financial institutions in the market. At the same time, you will have opportunities to contribute to advisory projects, model validation engagements and broader risk management initiatives across the insurance sector. The variety of projects offers a dynamic and flexible role that not only enables you to deepen your specialist non-life expertise but also provides opportunities to broaden your perspective across actuarial, risk and regulatory topics.

Your new job | About your main responsibilities

The FRM team supports insurance companies, banks, pension funds, public sector organizations, and other financial institutions across a broad range of quantitative and risk-related topics. Activities include actuarial analyses, risk management, financial reporting, regulatory change, model development, validation, data analytics and wider advisory engagements. Within the actuarial practice, we see strong demand from non-life insurers on topics such as claims reserving, actuarial modelling, financial reporting, Solvency II, IFRS 17, model validation and insurance regulation. Our work spans both advisory engagements and audit-related services, allowing professionals to work on a diverse range of client challenges across the largest insures in the Dutch market. As the financial services industry continues to evolve, there is increasing focus on topics such as (Gen)AI, advanced analytics, and the integration of ESG considerations into actuarial and risk models. Through this evolution, EY offers you the opportunity to apply these capabilities in real client engagements while maintaining a strong foundation in core actuarial disciplines.

What we expect from you:

• Strong interest in developments in actuarial practice, non-life, financial regulation and emerging trends in data analytics, AI and technology.
• A proactive mindset with a strong commitment to continuous learning, professional development, and process improvement.
• Ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams and build trusted relationships with clients.
• Willingness to build and maintain a professional network, both locally and within EY's global organization.
• Ability to explain and present quantitative concepts, methodologies, and findings to both colleagues and clients in a clear and structured manner.
• Coaching junior team members and contributing to the development of new client propositions and market offerings.
