There is ample opportunity to add real value to our clients and plenty of room for creativity. Our team is collaborative and innovative, having naturally grown over the years with colleagues joining from other teams within the company.

The team maintains a significant client and market-facing presence, and team members are expected to support this by presenting and pitching to prospective clients.

• Confidently juggle multiple priorities for a range of stakeholders, often under challenging deadlines and circumstances.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively to internal and external audiences with varying levels of risk understanding.
• Drive independent research into areas of interest within Marine, Energy, Terrorism, and Engineering, including developing and maintaining technical, market, and regulatory knowledge.

What you need to have:

• Demonstrated expertise as a pricing actuary or capital modelling actuary, preferably in the London Market.
• Part qualified, nearly qualified or fully qualified actuaries will be considered (e.g., IFoA, SOA, CAS, or equivalent).
• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related field.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Proficiency in actuarial software and statistical/data analysis tools (e.g., Python, R, SQL, Excel).
• Experience in Marine, Energy, Engineering and Terror lines of business is preferable but not necessary.

What makes you stand out:

• A mature, self-driven individual with the curiosity to question and learn.
• Client-facing experience.
• Ability to remain calm under pressure and work flexibly when required.
