* You'll participate in internal management meetings and external broker/client meetings as needed.
* You'll comply with regulatory and risk management procedures, as well as company standards.
* You'll conduct peer reviews for junior actuarial staff and provide support across the business to meet key deadlines.
What are we looking for?
* You'll hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Mathematics or Actuarial Science along with significant experience in actuarial roles.
* You'll be a member of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries or a local Actuarial Governing body.

* You'll demonstrate proficiency in actuarial concepts and methodologies, with a solid understanding of general insurance practices and local legislation.
* You'll have a proven ability to communicate effectively and influence senior business stakeholders.
* You'll be proficient in Microsoft Excel and familiar with VBA, R, Python, or other programming languages.
