Skills and Qualifications

• ACAS or FCAS certification
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex initiatives
• Undergraduate degree in Actuarial Science or another related field

• Excellent communication skills including ability to convey clear information to managers and team members, and ability to vulgarize complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment, and consistently meet deadlines
• Ability to take ambiguous problems and solve them in a structured data-driven way
• Ability to think long-term strategically and operationally, striking the right balance between short-term deliveries and long-term business outcomes
• Ability to influence partners and build strong relationships, creating win-win situations with them
• Ability to develop, assess and monitor numerous business metrics and use the acquired knowledge to optimize our pricing proposals

Bonus Points

• Pricing experience in cyber (re)insurance
• Experience in building and monitoring advanced pricing framework
• Experience working with external regulators, carriers and brokers
