    Description

    The opportunity

    This is an opportunity to help lead the retail team within EY as retail becomes a growing part of our business. It is a chance to shape the growth of the team whilst benefitting from being part of, and having the full support of, a wider, established, actuarial team which has a strong reputation in the market and all the advantages of being part of a "Big 4 firm" with multi-service-line offerings.

    This role offers exceptional opportunities for personal growth and advancement, to develop your wider business knowledge, and to build internal and external relationships across disciplines and across borders.

    Our wider actuarial team has a strong reputation in the market for bringing bespoke offerings to our clients which recognise the uniqueness of our clients' portfolios and needs.

    We have capabilities broader than the conventional actuarial fields of traditional reserving, capital, pricing and modelling. We also operate as part of wider consultancy projects embracing strategy, risk management, analytics, stochastic reserving, economic capital, capital optimisation, Solvency II and other prudential regime changes.

    We are at the forefront of these areas, with best-in-class tools and knowledge, built up over several years. Our business model ensures that:

  • Our expertise extends beyond boutique actuarial consultancies.
  • We leverage the synergies of being part of broader European and global actuarial teams.
  • We enjoy the advantages of being part of "Big 4 firm" multi-service-line offerings.

  • Assist in responding to varied client proposals.
  • Develop strong relationships with your peers across other teams within EY and our clients.
  • Working closely with colleagues you will create a positive learning culture, developing and supporting the team through effective supervising, coaching, and mentoring.
  • Support and lead team operations to ensure team development; feedback, counselling, finance, recruitment, learning and development.

  • Energy - Dedication combined with a desire to collaborate, whilst making your presence felt within our collegiate team.

  • Technical and Industry Expertise - Understanding of the current market and regulatory environment and how this is affecting retail insurers and their operating model.
  • People - Develop people through effectively supervising, coaching, and mentoring of staff.
  • To qualify for the role you must have

  • Significant actuarial experience in leading-edge UK retail insurance ( motor, household and/or other retail), gained through working for an insurer directly or a top tier consultancy or a specialist financial services consultancy.
  • Strong academic record including a degree and professional actuarial qualifications (IFoA or similar, qualified).
  • Have deep experience covering at least two of the following areas: Reserve reviews under different accounting bases for retail business. Actuarial analysis to support audits. Reserving process improvement and development work. Development or review of Solvency II technical provisions or IFRS 17 reserves and associated processes. Reserve risk or premium risk assessment using stochastic techniques. The business planning process, linking reserving, pricing, claims and underwriting. The review of Solvency II internal models and associated processes.
  • A track record of managing actuarial projects and team members, delivering or managing multiple tasks in parallel.
  • Be an effective communicator and able to deal with outward-facing client management on projects.
  • Be able to support, coach and mentor more junior members of the team to build the wider skill set of the team.
  • Be commercially savvy and able to collaboratively engage in discussions on future market trends and what this may mean for our clients.
  • Be a problem solver; tailoring what you have learnt from your experiences to date to different client problems to help design and implement the solution.
  • What we look for

    We are looking for candidates who are excited by the opportunity to help us develop and grow a team of high performing consultants, can apply actuarial approaches through a commercial lens and are excited about helping our clients improve the way they operate.

    You'll thrive on being a numerate, rationale thinker with a passion for this field and have a very strong attention to detail.

    Being a strong team player is important as well as someone who is happy to work flexibly on different clients and different engagements.

    We are a diverse and inclusive team; our working styles are flexible and are supportive in allowing for everyone to work in a way that meets their needs. We use technology effectively in our work to enable easy transition between office and home working where appropriate to your style.
