If you're an Actuary who's itching for something bigger than crunching numbers in the same old silo, this one's worth your time. Think: real impact, real visibility, and a chance to help build something from the ground up, not just slot into an existing machine.

Our client is a fast-growing professional services firm shaking things up in the actuarial space. They're building a brand-new actuarial offering, and they want someone sharp to join the founding team. So if you're looking for a role where you'll actually see the value of your work, where your ideas matter, and where you'll get exposure across blue-chip portfolios, this is your lane.

  • Deliver actuarial audit support across insurance, retirement funds, and medical schemes
  • Review and draft reports for technical provisions, IAS 19 and IFRS 17 liabilities
  • Support IFRS 17 engagements, including transition, modelling, audits, and policy impact analysis
  • Contribute to actuarial modelling and valuation work (liabilities, reinsurance, due diligence, capital optimization, and dashboards)
  • Assist clients with enhancing actuarial and risk management processes, including model reviews

Job Experience and Skills Required:
  • Nearly qualified or qualified Actuary
  • Experience within an audit support or consultancy environment
  • Exposure across insurance (life & non-life), retirement funds, and/or medical schemes
  • Knowledge of IFRS 17, SAM, reserving, ORSA and reinsurance will be a strong advantage
  • Experience working under relevant audit standards (ISA 540, IAS 19, IFRS 13, and QIS 3)
  • Strong report writing and business communication skills
  • Confident engaging with senior stakeholders
  • Solid understanding of modelling tools - Prophet, SQL, Python, SAS, Power BI or MATLAB (advantageous, not essential)
  • Able to manage multiple moving parts and still deliver accurately
