SUMMARY:
Are you an actuary who wants to take your analytical expertise beyond traditional insurance or pensions and use it to shape real business strategy?

Our client — a world-renowned consulting firm — is looking for ambitious actuarial professionals who are ready to apply their technical skills in a broader, more strategic environment.

This is your opportunity to work alongside exceptional thinkers, solving complex business problems for leading global organizations. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that combines analytical depth with business insight to deliver transformative impact.

POSITION INFO:
Our Associates play a broader, more strategic role than traditional actuarial positions. While they rely on the same technical foundations — statistics, modeling, and risk analysis — they apply them to business strategy, analytics, and problem-solving across industries.

As an Associate, you’ll work directly with senior leaders to diagnose business challenges, design data-driven solutions, and implement strategies that drive measurable change. This is a hands-on, high-impact role that blends quantitative excellence with commercial acumen.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead analytical workstreams within client projects, delivering insights that inform strategic decisions.
Develop and interpret financial, statistical, and business models to identify opportunities and risks.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design and implement actionable solutions.
Translate complex data into clear, strategic recommendations for senior stakeholders.
Support clients through transformation and change initiatives across sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and energy.
Present findings and recommendations to executive-level audiences with confidence and clarity.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Education: 8+ ASSA exams
Experience:
- Strong quantitative, analytical, and problem-solving skill
- Self-driven, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative consulting environment
- Willingness to travel for client engagements where required
Skills:
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and data analysis tools (R, Python, SQL, Power BI, etc.) an advantage
- Excellent communication and presentation skills — able to simplify complexity for diverse audiences
