Participate in ALM and risk-based capital allocation decisions.
Engage with capital governance forums and deliver actionable insights to leadership.

Support reinsurance renewals, catastrophe modelling, and capital cost projections.
Perform technical input on IFRS 17, model governance, and planning cycles.
Collaborate across actuarial, finance, and business units to strengthen risk and capital analytics.

Motivated to mentor and guide junior analysts and improve actuarial standards.
