About this opportunity

We're looking to recruit a Senior Manager to join our Specialist Actuarial Assumptions and Methodology Team, part of the Actuarial Function within Insurance, Pensions & Investments Finance.

In this role you’ll be responsible for how we analyse demographic risks. This feeds into setting best-estimate assumptions and capital requirements, and drives out vital understanding to support our pricing and proposition teams in delivering for customers.

Establishing and building strong internal and external networks will let you stay on top of emerging trends in customer behaviour and relevant research. Your work will cut across all of the product lines sold by our Insurance, Pensions & Investments business, including annuities, workplace & personal pensions, and life insurance.

Day to day you’ll be:

• Leading a team of technical specialists to further our understanding of demographic risks
• Supporting product development
• Developing techniques and processes to analyse data and identify what is driving underlying trends
• Bringing your actuarial judgement to demographic assumptions setting and explaining these judgements to others
• Producing capital calibrations for longevity, mortality and persistency risks
• Presenting summaries of complex technical information to senior colleagues.

• To be a qualified actuary, with several years post-qualification experience
• An analytical mind with great attention to detail
• Prior demographic risk experience with knowledge of industry practice in this field
• Excellent communication skills, including at a senior level
• Experience leading people.
   

And any experience of these would be really useful

• Experience of applying Generalised Linear Models to set assumptions
• Experience of using Longevitas.
