We’re looking for an experienced Life Actuary with deep SAM exposure and a passion for shaping solvency, capital, and risk models.

Ideal Profile:

  • Fellow or Associate Actuary (Life)
  • 6+ years of relevant experience in life insurance modelling, capital or valuation
  • 3+ years in a team or people leadership role
  • Technical wizardry with Prophet and discounted cash flow models
  • Deep working knowledge of SAM, especially SCR breakdowns and capital requirements for life insurers
  • Bonus: Cell-captive or multi-entity reporting experience

You Bring:

  • Curiosity & Compliance: You’re comfortable in spreadsheets and boardrooms
