Summary
We’re working with a leading global insurer seeking a commercially minded actuary (or someone with strong actuarial experience) to join a high-impact team focused on claims insights and volatility across complex, long-tail business lines.
This unique position sits at the intersection of claims and reserving—ideal for someone who enjoys both technical analysis and cross-team collaboration. You'll play a key role in delivering actionable insights that inform reserving assumptions, claims strategy, and broader business decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead regular analysis of large and volatile claims, producing outputs that inform senior stakeholders.
- Act as a key liaison between claims, reserving, underwriting, and data teams—translating technical trends into practical insights.
- Identify data quality issues and champion improvements in collaboration with operations and transformation teams.
- Support automation, AI, and reporting initiatives across the claims function.
- Deliver deep-dive analyses on emerging risks, class-specific trends, and market-wide exposure events.
- Contribute to upskilling and technical development across actuarial and claims teams.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong analytical mindset and experience interpreting complex numerical data.
- Confident communicator who can navigate and influence across technical and non-technical teams.
- Advanced Excel skills; familiarity with SQL and Power BI (or similar tools) is highly desirable.
- Ability to work independently, manage competing deadlines, and drive process improvements.
- Prior experience in actuarial, reserving, or claims within the London Market is a strong advantage.
Why This Role?
- Exposure to high-value and complex insurance portfolios.
- Blend of technical depth and stakeholder interaction.
- Genuine scope to drive change, improve processes, and shape the way data informs decisions.
- A global insurer with a supportive culture, flexible working, and strong internal mobility.
