What you’ll be doing

• You will play a central role in turning complex data into clear, actionable insight that helps our underwriters make confident decisions. Working closely with the Lead Actuary, you will support the Specialty Insights strategy and keep performance on track by running segmentation reviews, monitoring results and feeding your recommendations back into Underwriting and the relevant committees so actions translate into measurable outcomes.
• You will enable the Managing Director for Property/Specialty to shape and execute a robust cycle management strategy that aligns to our wider syndicate goals. You will identify the opportunities that move the portfolio forward and the risks that need attention, and you will provide consultancy across reserving, pricing loss ratio setting, planning and ORI purchase so decisions are well‑founded and timely.
• You will lead actuarial enhanced reviews in line with our Group Underwriting Guidelines, ensuring each review meets agreed standards and that follow‑up actions are collaboratively agreed, quantified and tracked to completion. Your focus will be on outcomes, with solutions that are proportionate, pragmatic and as simple as they can be without losing rigour.
• You will help to foster an equitable, inclusive and diverse team where high‑quality feedback is part of how we work. You will keep delivery moving by unblocking issues early, streamlining processes where it adds value and sharing best practice across teams. As a visible representative of Actuarial in strategic initiatives related to delegated strategy, you will build strong connections across Brit and partner with Group functions so delegated data and outputs are available, reliable and ready for reporting and analysis. In short, you will help our leaders and underwriters stay on the front foot so our clients can face the future and thrive.
