About the Role

The position is based in our London office, with the flexibility to work remotely up to two days per week.

Role & Responsibilities (include but not limited to)

• Assist with quarterly closing tasks, including validating plan ELRs, performing actuarial versus expected analysis, and conducting roll‑forward analysis.
• Explore and develop new reserving approaches and methodologies.
• Participate in group‑wide projects aimed at improving reserving processes.
• You’ll collaborate closely with Pricing Actuarial, Underwriting, Claims, and Financial Services.
• You will work alongside the Head of International Reinsurance Reserving to ensure consistency and alignment with global reserving best practices.

Qualifications

• You’re on your way to qualifying as a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (FIA), or you may hold a similar professional qualification.
• You’ve studied Maths, Accounting, Economics, Statistics, Business, or a related discipline — likely at degree level or beyond.
• You have some experience in P&C actuarial work and are keen to build on it.
• You’re familiar with general insurance reserving and possibly reinsurance, or you’re eager to deepen your expertise in these areas.
• You’re confident using Excel, and may have worked with tools like Excel VBA, SQL, Python, or similar — or you’re open to learning them.
• You’ve used ResQ before, or you’re enthusiastic about picking it up.
• You tend to be well‑organised and detail‑oriented in your approach.
• You’re able to communicate clearly — whether that’s in writing, in meetings, or when collaborating with others.
• You’re comfortable working independently, but also enjoy being part of a team.
• You bring energy, curiosity, and a willingness to learn, grow, and connect with others.
