Combined, these will fully equip you to be successful in your role, with the knowledge and skills required to apply to real world business challenges.

During the programme you will experience multiple aspects of actuarial work such as:

  • Risk analysis: Manage the production of regular experience investigations for our products in order to understand the impact of changes in mortality, morbidity, expenses and persistency.
  • Regulatory reporting: Deliver the company and statutory financial reporting results to tight deadlines, including the supporting commentary.
  • Modelling: developing and maintaining actuarial models, code, and software to solve problems and ensure that decision making is based on robust figures.
  • Communication to senior stakeholders: Summarise the performance of insurance products or the results of an investigation to present to senior management
  • Marketing: Support actuaries in product development, commercial deals and pricing innovations.

Qualifications

  • 2.1 degree in a numerate subject 
  • Strong analytical skills and great communication skills
  • Someone flexible who is also a team-player
  • A highly organised individual, who has the ability to prioritise effectively
