Thursday, October 16, 2025

Location:

Cape Town, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Numbers are your superpower – now imagine using them to influence multi-million-Rand investment decisions across Africa. This isn’t your traditional actuarial desk job; it’s a chance to dive into high-stakes valuations, cutting-edge modelling, and cross-border deal-making that shapes the future of portfolios. If you’re ready to mix actuarial brains with investment flair, this is your next big move.

POSITION INFO:
Step into the world of high-impact investments with a market leader in non-performing debt acquisitions across South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana. Our client partners with major players in banking, retail, telecoms, and financial services to unlock value where others see risk.

As an Actuarial Analyst, you’ll play a pivotal role in valuing complex portfolios, building predictive models, and driving strategies that shape investment decisions at an executive level. This is a rare opportunity to combine actuarial rigour with commercial acumen — and to see your insights directly influence portfolio performance and business growth.

Why Join?:

Exposure to cross-border markets and multi-industry investments.
Competitive package with performance bonuses and comprehensive benefits (funeral, life, and disability cover).
Paid maternity leave and early childhood support.
Work directly with senior investment executives to drive strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct portfolio valuations and pricing analysis of non-performing debt portfolios.
Build and maintain advanced financial models using DCF, machine learning, Markov-chain models, and runoff triangles.
Perform sensitivity testing and design proxy portfolios to measure risks and returns.
Automate pricing processes and design valuation scorecards to enhance efficiency.
Analyse large datasets to extract KPIs that drive investment and strategic decisions.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Actuarial Science, Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related field.
Experience: Minimum 3+ years’ experience in financial modelling, valuation, or credit risk analysis.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in SQL, Excel, and Python essential.
Knowledge: Background in valuation, credit risk analytics, and data-driven decisioning.
Strong commercial mindset and the ability to communicate complex insights clearly.
Self-starter with the drive to thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
