You'll:

  • Support and enhance the end-to-end actuarial reporting pipeline, from source data ingestion through to valuation and financial reporting outputs.
  • Develop, maintain, and improve actuarial models, databases, and reporting solutions.
  • Build and strengthen controls across actuarial reporting environments to improve governance, efficiency, and accuracy.
  • Lead automation initiatives and end-to-end process improvements across reserving, capital, reporting, and actuarial data processes.
  • Evaluate and implement emerging technologies, including AI-enabled solutions, within actuarial reporting frameworks.
  • Drive strategic technical projects that improve reporting capabilities and operational efficiency.
  • Support the adoption of new technologies and improved ways of working across the broader Corporate Actuarial team.

Required Knowledge and Experience    
What you'll bring

  • A reputation for combining actuarial expertise with technical innovation, analytical thinking, and a passion for solving complex business challenges.
  • Minimum 3 years' relevant actuarial experience within an insurance environment.
  • Experience in highly technical actuarial, data, modelling, or reporting-focused roles.
  • Strong understanding of actuarial concepts and principles applicable to both Life and Short-Term Insurance.
  • Knowledge of actuarial reporting processes, financial reporting systems, and insurance reporting requirements.
  • Experience with programming languages and tools such as SQL, Python, Git, and AI-related technologies.
  • Proven track record of delivering projects, technical enhancements, and process improvement initiatives.
  • Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building capability.
  • Excellent technical, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies and programming concepts.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, take ownership, and deliver high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strategic thinking capability with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement.

Educational Requirements    

Qualifications

  • Nearly qualified or newly qualified Actuary through a recognised actuarial body.
