Network Recruitment

Job Ref:

NFP016097/ZG

Date posted:

Friday, September 19, 2025

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

Salary:

Annually

SUMMARY:
Are you a nearly or newly qualified Actuary who craves variety? Love valuations, IFRS 17, and SAM — but want exposure across multiple insurers, solving different challenges and influencing big decisions?

POSITION INFO:
You’ll partner with leading insurers across South Africa, tackle complex actuarial challenges, and gain exposure to projects that sharpen both your technical and problem-solving skills. You won’t just “run the numbers” — you’ll be the trusted advisor who explains what they mean and helps shape strategic decisions.

With a hybrid setup in Cape Town or Johannesburg, the opportunity to mentor bright actuarial minds, and exposure to diverse clients and projects, this role offers growth well beyond business-as-usual.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and deliver valuation, IFRS 17, and SAM projects across a range of clients — no “one-size-fits-all” work.
Support, mentor, and develop junior actuarial colleagues.
Collaborate with clients to address real business challenges and present insights that drive impactful decisions.
Introduce innovative ideas and continuously enhance project delivery methods.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Education: Nearly or newly qualified Actuary (FASSA or equivalent).
Experience:
- 2–3 years’ experience in life valuations, IFRS 17, and SAM.
- Previous consulting exposure, or a genuine interest in moving into a client-facing environment (yes, you need to enjoy people as much as numbers!).
Skills: Strong technical and analytical ability, combined with excellent communication skills — able to simplify and explain complex actuarial concepts.
