The Role

We are looking for a qualified actuary from a pricing background to join this growing global team of over 100 risk consultants. 

This role will centre on two key areas:

• Support our growth in the provision of pricing optimisation and advice to corporate clients in the design and running of their affinity, extended warranty or loyalty schemes.

• Providing actuarial model-based insurance optimisation and captive optimisation advice to a wide range of corporate clients

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to gain experience across a wide variety of day-to-day work across our range of actuarial services (including captive capital, and reserving) across all industries and geographies.

Core Activities

Pricing

The key focus of this role will be to utilise personal lines pricing expertise (including GLMs and GBMs) to provide actuarial pricing models and advice to corporate clients around the design and pricing structure of their affinity, extended warranty and loyalty schemes.

Risk Optimisation

The work we do is centred around improving our clients’ ability to manage risk. Whether that is through tailoring their risk transfer to the insurance market, detailing the optimum path to managing their non insurable risks or just detailing the risks they face in the first place. A good candidate will be able to quickly pick up on our current solutions, articulate them in a clear way to our clients and work to deliver the best result in a collaborative manner.

Capital and Reserving

In addition to the pricing work which is central to this role, the candidate will have the opportunity to broaden their experience by supporting our capital and reserving activities across a range of corporate and captive clients.
