Senior Consultant, Non-Life, Actuarial

At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

We are currently market leading within the London and Bermuda market engaged to perform a number of global Independent reserve reviews and reviews for over 50% of the Lloyd’s market.

We also have extensive coverage of the market in our capital modelling and Solvency II projects.

We are currently engaged in increasing our capacity in these areas.  This is in response to the changing marketplace for our services.  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 opportunity
This is an opportunity to become part of the EY general insurance success story in London and across Europe. The team have a strong reputation in the market for bringing bespoke offerings to our clients which recognise the uniqueness of our clients’ portfolios and needs.

We have capabilities broader than the conventional actuarial fields of deterministic reserving, pricing and modelling:  we also operate as part of wider consultancy projects embracing strategy, risk management, analytics, stochastic reserving, economic capital, capital optimisation, Solvency II and other prudential regime changes globally.

We are at the forefront of these areas, with best in the class tools and knowledge, built up over several years of iteration.  Our business model ensures that:

• Our expertise extend beyond boutique actuarial consultancies;
• We leverage the synergies of being part of broader European and global actuarial teams;
• We enjoy the advantages of being part of "Big 4 firm" multi-service-line offerings; and
• We combine audit, audit-related and non-audit projects with a global client reach.
