Job description

The Risk Function operates under the Enstar ERM Framework, which identifies key risks to the business; the key risks are managed under the following ‘risk towers’: Insurance Risk, Investment Risk, and Operational Risk. The purpose of this role is to support the execution of activities relating to the Insurance Risk tower across the group.

We seek a motivated and ambitious person, eager to transition their academic knowledge into practical application. As the Risk team is an integral component of decision-making processes - from regulatory deliverables such as Self Solvency Assessments, to business-driven initiatives such as M&A transactions – we are looking to expand our team with someone who demonstrates a strong analytical thought process, combined with an aptitude for mathematical and statistical problem solving.

The candidate will play a pivotal role in addressing the growth in the scope and depth of our work, providing essential support to our team as we adapt to an increasingly complex risk environment. This role offers significant opportunities for both formal and informal learning and growth. The new hire's contribution will directly impact our effectiveness in managing risks and upholding our reputation for excellence in the industry.

What you will be doing:

Supporting the Risk team in a broad scope of work through the understanding, analysing (with the use of statistical modelling), synthetisation and presenting financial risks to key stakeholders in the business.

• Writing technical sections of reports (ORSAs / GISSAs / CISSAs) for the board, committees and regulatory bodies.
• Present information to key stakeholders.

Ad-hoc support to the business

• Independent due diligence review support in the M&A transactional process, particularly in respect of financial risk associated with the transactions.
• Deep dive reviews of potential financial risks to the business.
• Acting as a consultant to the business and supporting them on broad and varied requests to provide knowledgeable 2nd opinions on a variety of topics.
• The responsibilities described above are not exhaustive. Enstar is committed to ensuring our people develop and harness the right skills consistent with their wants and business needs. Therefore, it is expected that this will change over time.

What you will bring:

• Minimum 1-3 years of experience working within the insurance industry.
• A minimum 2:1 University degree or equivelant in Mathematics, Actuarial Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Economics, Risk or Insurance-related degrees (preferred)

Who we are:

Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar” or “EGL”) is a leading global insurance group and the world’s largest standalone consolidator of legacy reinsurance business.

Through our network of group companies, we help others – principally other insurance companies – release capital by taking over liability portfolios which no longer make strategic sense for them to hold. We create value by better managing these legacy insurance portfolios and strive to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns from our investment portfolio.

Enstar’s innovative re/insurance solutions help our partners to reduce risk, release capital, dispose of non-core businesses and portfolios, achieve finality and manage claims volatility. In return, Enstar drives earnings through savings arising from our technical excellence and from investment earnings on the reserves we hold.

With around 800 global employees, our network of group companies is positioned across the world’s major insurance hubs and has significant presence in Bermuda, where our headquarters are located, the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Australia.

Enstar’s balance sheet strength is supported through flagship carrier, Cavello Bay, who benefits from strong financial strength ratings of “A” by Standard and Poor’s and “A” Excellent with stable outlook by AM Best. Enstar held Shareholder’s Equity of $6.1 billion as of 31 December 2024.

Acharacteristic that is core to our culture: we encourage an entrepreneurial spirit, our colleagues have autonomy to shape strategy, innovate new revenue streams and we reward those who are commercially focused.
