Recruiter:

Network Recruitment

Job Ref:

NFP016353/CL

Date posted:

Tuesday, November 18, 2025

Location:

Cape Town, South Africa

SUMMARY:
If you’re a nearly or newly qualified actuary who wants more than just crunching numbers in a dark corner, here’s your sign. This one lets you work across global standards, modernize systems, and actually see the impact of your work, not just hand it off and hope for the best. Our client is known for stability, development opportunities, and a genuinely supportive, people-first culture. You’ll join a collaborative valuations and reserving team that works across IFRS, US GAAP and key regulatory frameworks. Think smart colleagues, interesting challenges, and access to global projects that sharpen your skills fast.
Because this isn’t one of those slow-moving corporate ships. Their valuations team constantly evolves, builds new tools, automates processes, and stays on the front foot with things like IFRS 17 and LDTI. You’ll learn, grow, and get exposure you won’t get in a typical insurer.

POSITION INFO:
Key Responsibilities

Assist with financial reporting under US GAAP and IFRS.
Support regulatory reporting across SAM and Solvency II.

Analyze valuation data to extract insights across the business.
Build and maintain tools for enhanced management and regulatory reporting.
Drive automation of models and business processes.
Participate in global projects across valuation, admin systems, and reporting.
Support experience studies and assumption setting through valuation data review.

Job Experience and Skills Required

Degree in Actuarial Science.
Newly or nearly qualified with strong exam progress.
3+ years’ experience in valuations, reserving, or life actuarial work.
Exposure to regulatory reporting (SAM/Solvency II) is ideal.
Experience with actuarial modelling and statistical analysis.
Strong IT ability (MS Office, SQL Server, large datasets).
Knowledge of R, Python, or GGY AXIS is a bonus.
Excellent numerical and analytical capability.
Confident engaging with senior team members and stakeholders.
Must be comfortable working in a team with varying technical levels.
