Our actuarial consulting team offers a great opportunity to gain exposure across various technical actuarial areas and across a range of insurers in the South African and international market. This accelerates your learning curve, challenges your thinking and gives you the opportunity to gain depth in terms of the application of your technical actuarial skills.

We value teaming, proactivity as well as diversity and inclusion in our team. Our team thrives because of the growth mindset environment and collaborative team culture. You would get the opportunity to work with some of the most knowledgeable actuarial professionals in the industry and colleagues that are not only brilliant but also committed, dynamic and creative.

  4. Managing/supporting on value-adding projects covering IFRS17 implementation and other topics related to trends in the actuarial field
  5. Further developing our team by coaching and mentoring junior colleagues
  6. Continually learning and sharing your knowledge with the wider actuarial team

Most of your work will be project based for a once-off set period time or on a recurring basis, which enables you to work with different team members and subject matter experts, gaining invaluable experience and technical knowledge.

Skills and attributes for success

  1. At least 3 years' experience in the Life or Non-Life Insurance industry
  2. Preferably a maximum of 2 actuarial exams outstanding
  3. Experience in financial reporting (SAM/Solvency II, IFRS, EV) preferential
  4. Team player and proactive, self-starter
  5. Curious mindset and keenness to learn
  6. Critical thinker and solution-orientated approach
