Forvis Mazars faces a once-in-a-generation growth opportunity within the UK and is looking for candidates to make their mark in leading and adding value to a growing global business.

About the team

Our Actuarial team uses expertise in financial, risk, and capital modelling to help clients manage the complexities that are inherent in business. We use a blend of technical and commercial expertise to provide insight, assurance and enable effective decision-making by business leaders. You will serve regional, national, and international companies of all sizes and structures combining your skills with the right actuarial and non-actuarial team members for every engagement.

Working in the life insurance area, this role will be split between external audit during the financial reporting season and a wide range of actuarial consultancy work for the balance of the year. Supporting the Actuarial Partners, this is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a wide variety of projects and roles, and to add value to a growing UK business.

In particular, we are looking for someone with life and health insurance experience and to help and support with the development of robust and accurate methodologies for aspects of Solvency II valuation and reporting. This experience could have been gained either from working in a life insurance company or with a consulting firm.

You will be given early responsibility and will be involved in high-profile global projects. Your time would usually be split between working in the office, attending client meetings and relationship development.

What are we looking for?

• Part qualified - completed most of, or all of the CT series up to nearly qualified.
• Ideally familiar with building models in excel of other actuarial software such as Prophet or Mo.Net
• Interest in managing people and preferably experience working in and leading small teams.
• Willingness to travel.
• Ability to develop self and others.
• Promotes the firm's values and beliefs, demonstrating integrity and maintaining an ethical stance, using flexibility and tact to express views as necessary.
