This role would suit a recently qualified actuary through to around 3 years PQE who wants to broaden their experience beyond a single actuarial specialism and take on greater ownership of independent model review, challenge and governance. The team provides assurance to senior management and the Board around the robustness of key actuarial models, while working closely with model owners to strengthen model design, methodology, processes and controls. The role offers exposure across a broad range of actuarial models, including pricing, reporting, economic capital and R&D. Model Risk Analyst, DivisionalWhat will you be doing?
