Graduate Actuarial Modelling Analyst

1 week ago


Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa Network2 Full time R60 800 - R115 200 per year
If you're the kind of grad who gets way too excited about clean code, complex models, and figuring out why something doesn't balance at 2am (no judgement), this one's calling your name. Imagine levelling up under a modelling genius and doing it all from your couch. Yes, really. You'll join a niche consulting outfit that builds seriously advanced models for insurers across the Life space, with the odd Non-Life challenge just to keep things spicy. It's a place where your brain gets a workout, your career actually grows, and you're mentored by one of SA's top technical modellers. Think: real builds, real tools, and real responsibility. No coffee-runner energy here.

You'll get exposure most grads only dream of: Python, R, SQL, Prophet, automation projects, model overhauls, pricing, valuation... the works. You'll learn fast, work smart, and actually see the impact of what you build. Plus, the consulting environment means no two days look the same.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Build, refine and optimize actuarial and financial models for Life (and sometimes Non-Life) clients.
  • Develop technical solutions using Python, R, SQL and actuarial modelling platforms.
  • Support consulting projects across pricing, valuation, automation and model enhancement.
  • Analyze data, design modelling structures and turn insights into actionable outputs.

Job Experience and Skills Required:
  • Degree in Actuarial Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics or another quantitative field.
  • Strong academic performance.
  • 0–2 years' experience (graduates welcome).
  • Any exposure to modelling, coding or actuarial tools is a bonus.
  • Python and/or R (non-negotiable).
  • SQL experience beneficial.
  • Prophet or other actuarial modelling software is an advantage.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving and technical modelling ability.
  • Genuine passion for modelling and solving technical problems.
  • Able to work independently in a fully remote setup.
  • High attention to detail and strong quantitative ability.
