Job title: Risk Actuary
Reports to: Deputy Chief Actuary
Role type: Permanent
The Chief Actuary heads up a specialist second line actuarial team within the broader Risk department. This is a small, highly skilled team which has interaction across the business including Pricing, Finance and Risk.
The work of the team is varied and supports the discharge of the responsibilities of the Chief Actuary, the Chief Risk Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
Due to continued growth in the business, we are seeking to add a new permanent member to the team, who will work closely with the Chief Actuary to deliver the objectives of the team. This covers a range of second-line actuarial support, review, challenge and oversight.
This is a key second-line role which requires strong interpersonal skills and would suit a self-starter looking to broaden their knowledge and skills base.
The role is varied, looking across the entire risk landscape of the company, and the candidate will be expected to be proactive in developing the role and flexible in their approach to taking on new tasks.
Candidates from a broad range of actuarial backgrounds are welcome. The candidate should have recent actuarial experience (either a line 1 or line 2 role) and should be willing to learn and to provide support to a broad range of tasks. The successful candidate should be diligent and methodical and with a strong commitment to a robust control environment.
Job Responsibilities
As a second-line role, communication skills are essential, including strong interpersonal skills and the ability to effectively provide feedback and challenge. This will include drafting reports and communicating with senior management and with relevant committees. The candidate is likely to gain exposure to a wide range of tasks and will be expected to be 'hands on'.
