SUMMARY:
Are you an ambitious nearly or newly qualified Actuary looking to build something from the ground up? Join a growing professional services firm where you won’t just do actuarial work — you’ll shape it. This is your opportunity to be part of a founding actuarial team, influence strategy, and work with blue-chip clients across insurance, retirement funding, and healthcare.

POSITION INFO:
Our client is a fast-growing advisory and audit firm, that is establishing a dedicated actuarial team to support its Audit division. This is not a traditional corporate actuarial role — it’s a highly entrepreneurial environment where you’ll be involved in designing solutions, delivering actuarial audit support, and expanding actuarial services to the market.

You’ll gain exposure to IFRS 17, SAM, IAS 19, capital optimisation, model reviews, and actuarial audit work across life, non-life, retirement and medical schemes. If you enjoy blending technical excellence with business building, and want to be part of a team from day one, this is the platform to accelerate your impact and career.

What’s in it for you? High visibility, blue-chip client exposure, mentorship from senior leaders, involvement in audit and consulting projects, and the rare chance to help build a new actuarial offering within a respected firm.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide actuarial audit support across life, general insurance, retirement funds and medical schemes.
Review and assess technical reserves, IFRS 17 calculations, IAS 19 valuations, and audit reports.
Build, review and enhance actuarial models used for valuations, capital, reserving, reinsurance and due diligence.
Support IFRS 17 transition projects and assist clients with understanding policy decisions and financial impacts.
Contribute to actuarial function reviews, model validations, process enhancements and risk management improvements.
Participate in business development, proposal writing, research, and establishing actuarial processes within the firm.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Nearly or newly qualified Actuary (Fellow or close to qualification).
Minimum 2–5 years actuarial experience, ideally within audit, consulting, or insurance (life or non-life).
Experience in audit support, valuations, SAM, reserving, IFRS 17, IAS 19 or related actuarial functions.
Strong technical skills – Prophet, SQL, Python, SAS, Power BI, or similar tools advantageous.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Able to engage with clients and senior stakeholders.
Entrepreneurial, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple complex tasks.
