Reporting to senior leadership, the Head of Quantitative will lead the development and implementation of advanced stochastic and actuarial modelling frameworks supporting digital financial advice solutions across multiple international markets. It is a rare opportunity to define the quantitative foundation of a global platform that already has the clients, the traction, and the ambition to lead the category.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline such as Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, or Physics, or related quantitative field.
• Professional actuarial qualifications are advantageous but not essential for candidates with exceptional quantitative experience.

• Lead the design and delivery of stochastic and actuarial modelling capabilities across multiple jurisdictions.
• Develop scalable quantitative frameworks and support the transition from deterministic to stochastic modelling approaches.
• Translate regulatory and financial advice requirements into robust quantitative logic and production‑ready solutions.
• Build, mentor, and lead an international quantitative team.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and senior stakeholders to align quantitative capability with business objectives.
