Wednesday, November 12, 2025

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Ready to take the lead on high-impact actuarial projects? Here’s your chance to join a team that thrives on solving complex problems in the financial services space where your technical expertise will actually shape strategy, not just support it.

POSITION INFO:
This is not your typical corporate actuarial gig. You’ll be part of a specialist consulting team that partners with some of the biggest players in the life insurance space, delivering solutions that make a real difference. You’ll gain exposure across capital modelling, risk management, and IFRS 17, while working with leaders who genuinely value curiosity, technical depth, and innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and contribute to the delivery of actuarial consulting projects within the life insurance sector.
Maintain and grow client relationships by providing high-quality, insightful solutions and supporting business development initiatives.
Manage multiple projects and ensure that deliverables meet deadlines, budgets, and client expectations.
Keep ahead of emerging regulations and market trends (including Solvency II and IFRS 17) to apply relevant insights in client engagements.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Qualified Life Actuary (FASSA or equivalent).
Proven experience within life insurance or consulting, particularly with Solvency II, IFRS 17, capital modelling, and risk management.
Strong stakeholder engagement and project leadership experience.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills (technical and non-technical).
Experience in reviewing or challenging models and results is highly advantageous.
Pricing knowledge and with-profits product exposure beneficial.
Comfortable managing teams of 2–3 people and working across multiple projects simultaneously.
Willingness to travel and work on client sites when required.
