• we combine consulting, audit and audit-related projects with a global client reach.

Your key responsibilities

As a member of the Actuarial team, you will make a significant technical contribution to Insurance & Actuarial client engagements and internal projects. In particular:

• Participate in the technical delivery for a wide range of client assignments in either Insurance (Non-Life, Life insurance, Health or pension businesses) and Financial sector industry covering traditional actuarial activities like reserving, pricing, modelling, financial reporting (e.g. Solvency II, IFRS 17) or audit as well as broader topics like mergers and acquisitions, new legislations, big data / analytics, risk and capital management;
• Work effectively as a team member, sharing responsibility and knowledge, providing support, maintaining communication and update other senior team members on progress;
• Contribute to the attainment of group and individual goals by sharing knowledge, identifying business opportunities and productivity and facilitating teamwork;
• Challenge yourself in an international context through various client assignments.

To qualify for the role you must have:
 

• 0-2 years of experience as an actuary in the insurance sector gained from working either in an insurer or at an actuarial consultancy firm;
• Proven math and analytical skills, as normally acquired through the pursuit of a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, Actuarial Science, Computer Science or any other quantitative degree;
• Strong team player with a passion for excellence and commitment to delivering work on time and with a flexible working style enjoying working with multi-national teams;
• A consulting mind-set, comfortable navigating through periods of ambiguity and change, and can effectively manage competing priorities;
• A committed approach to continuous professional development is required;
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical writing and client presentation.
   

Ideally, you’ll also have:

• Experience in pricing techniques will be positively evaluated;
• Experience in reserving under Solvency II and current accounting standard;

• You will be a qualified or partially qualified actuary and have a degree-level qualification;
• Experience in sustainability matters and good understanding of the ESG developments, particularly for insurers.

What We Look For

We are in a strong position to build on our existing client-base which varies by market sector, and by size. These projects are demanding an increased level of classic consulting skills - more intensive client interaction, much wider than actuarial, and up to senior executive and board level.

The team will be strengthened by experienced candidates who bring with them, or are willing to rapidly develop, both consulting skills and expertise in the effective business application of software.
