• Lead and coordinate the parameterisation and validation of Reserve Risk for the capital model.
• Collaborate effectively with both external and internal stakeholders (across the AIG group) - including actuaries, underwriters, portfolio managers and finance teams to perform analyses and optimise portfolios of insurance risks.
• Provide analysis to ensure underwriters and pricing actuaries understand the reserve estimates, enabling appropriate pricing assumptions and ongoing business strategy.
• Peer-review key components of the quarterly reserving process.
• Support Lloyd’s reporting by working closely with finance teams to meet deadlines.
• Coach and mentor junior actuarial analysts.

• Qualified actuary.
• Reserving experience, preferably in the Lloyd’s or London Market.
• Data manipulation and technical modelling skills.
