Job description

The Role

A leading international life insurer is looking for a recently qualified Life Actuary to join its Group Risk Modelling team. This is a highly technical opportunity for someone looking to build their career across capital, risk and actuarial modelling, with genuine scope to develop and take ownership.

You will work closely with senior actuarial leadership across a range of technical modelling activity, including:

• IFRS 17 liquidity premium modelling and calibration
• Capital and economic risk modelling
• Market and credit risk modelling
• Stochastic modelling and calibration
• Model development, methodology and validation
• Solvency II and balance sheet modelling
• Technical modelling projects across the Group
• Supporting the organisation’s growing APAC operations
• Working with and providing technical guidance to an international actuarial team

About You

We are looking for a recently qualified Life Actuary, or someone close to qualification, with a strong technical modelling background.

Ideally, You Will Have Experience Across Areas Such As

• Capital or risk modelling
• Solvency II / SCR
• Stochastic modelling
• Market or credit risk
• Model development and calibration
• R, MATLAB, VBA, Python, Excel or similar

Most importantly, you will enjoy getting into the detail of how models work and be comfortable developing, challenging and explaining technical methodology.

APAC experience is useful but not essential. The ability to learn new technical and regulatory requirements is more important.

Why This Role?

This is a great opportunity to develop quickly within a technically demanding environment, working closely with senior actuarial leadership and gaining international exposure through the growing APAC agenda.

You’ll have the opportunity to build expertise across capital, risk, IFRS 17 and stochastic modelling while taking genuine ownership of technical work.
