Preferred Skills

Our successful Risk & Capital proposition is growing fast - responding to client challenges in the face of changing regulation and cyclical pressures with increasing demand to help clients understand their risks more quantitatively and how this impacts on their capital and growth plans.

We are currently seeking a Senior Associate to help us with our successful & expanding risk & capital proposition and support our wider Non-Life offering (including Catastrophe Risk; Reserving & Pricing; Exposure Management; Deals; IFRS17 and, increasingly, areas such as Cyber, Climate, and ESG). You will likely be working towards an Actuarial or similar qualification, however we would welcome those who are also not actively studying but are from a strong quantitative background.

We are looking for individuals with relevant experience who are able to work well as part of a team and who are responsible, agile, clear-thinking, self-motivated and good communicators.

You may have some experience in risk and capital modelling (for example, model development and implementation, or model validation), experience with Solvency II internal models, risk management, or software packages such as Igloo, ReMetrica or Tyche, or other actuarial areas such as reserving & pricing. Alternatively, you may have modelling experience from a different background, such as Life or Pensions, and be looking to further your career elsewhere - we would certainly be open to candidates from these fields where you are looking for new challenges and can leverage your existing skills in a new environment!

As a Senior Associate, you'll work as part of a team of problem solvers, delivering a wide range of assignments where you'll interact with clients. You'll also have the opportunity to work in multidisciplinary teams and/or with people from our network firms overseas.
