Description

Background

Our award-winning Insurance & Financial Services (I&FS) practice has grown significantly in recent years, and our continued aim is to be the leading advisors in our areas of specialism -investment & asset liability management, risk and capital management, products, and longevity.

We have ambitious plans and, having had phenomenal success in the life insurance market, we look ahead confidently to continuing to grow our specialisms with new clients, and in broader markets in the life and general insurance space.

The Role

We therefore have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, high-calibre, revenue-focused individual to take on a senior commercial leadership role in our award-winning I&FS practice as we embark on the next stage of our growth by increasing our market share and by taking our areas of specialism to new clients and broader markets as described above.

Key Responsibilities

The role-holder will be a key part of our commercial practice leadership, working with the rest of senior management to implement the next phase of our strategic growth plans, as well as supporting the day-to-day operations of the practice.

This role-holder will not only help to win new client engagements and grow new and existing client relationships but will also play a key role in delivering assignments in a wide range of areas.

This role-holder will help to leverage wider parts of the firm, including our Risk Transfer, Club Vita and Digital teams, for the benefit of our I&FS clients.

The role-holder will also play a lead role in marketing activity, including thought leadership materials and presenting at both internal and external conferences.

You will be a recognised industry leader, with proven experience of generating revenue and of leading the delivery of large and complex projects, ideally in a consulting environment.
You will have strategic business acumen and knowledge of the issues, challenges and opportunities facing UK general insurers.
You will be determined and proactive, with high levels of energy, motivation and enthusiasm.
You will have an excellent network of contacts with a proven ability to leverage this and to grow revenue.
You will have high emotional intelligence, excellent interpersonal skills, and be comfortable in engaging with senior stakeholders (actuarial or otherwise), including Board members, their advisors, and their regulators.
You will have a clear, straightforward communication style, and be able to explain complex ideas in a straightforward way to lay audiences.
You will be willing and able to travel where necessary

Qualifications and Experience

You will be a senior actuary, with deep practitionerlevel property & casualty insurance experience.
You will have very strong knowledge of Solvency II both in the UK and in Europe as well as equivalent regulatory regimes.
General insurance practising certificates are desirable, but not essential. The same is true for the CERA designation.
You will be able to demonstrate proven success in mentoring and in supporting the development of the next generation of the practice's leaders and consultants.

We work alongside employers, trustees and financial services institutions, offering independent pensions, investments, benefits and risk consulting services, as well as data and technology solutions.

That's the who and the what. More important is the 'why'. The work we do may not always seem the sexiest. But it's difficult, it's complex, and it's important.

We help our clients, their employees, members and customers make decisions that have real and direct consequences on their financial futures.

For 100 years we've taken this responsibility seriously. Together, as a team and with our clients and partners, we're here to build better futures.
