The role offers broad exposure to structured and non-standard transactions, working directly alongside underwriters, brokers, and senior stakeholders to shape pricing methodology and support long-term portfolio growth.

- Build and maintain stochastic pricing models, running sensitivity and scenario analysis across bespoke deals
- Integrate catastrophe modelling outputs into pricing and portfolio analysis
- Translate technical pricing outputs into clear commercial recommendations for underwriters, brokers, and clients
- Analyse submissions, exposure data, programme structures, and policy wordings to support underwriting decisions
- Draft underwriting memoranda and pricing recommendations for complex transactions
- Use AI-enabled research and analytical tools to support client analysis, market research, and risk selection
- Benchmark cedants and industry peers to support underwriting and pricing decisions
- Support the development of pricing methodologies and actuarial parameterisation for new lines of business
- Partner closely with underwriting and wider platform teams to establish pricing frameworks and governance standards
Role Requirements:
- Qualified actuary (FIA or equivalent) with experience in commercial (re)insurance pricing
- Strong background in structured, bespoke, or non-proportional (re)insurance transactions
- Commercially minded with the ability to balance technical rigour and underwriting judgement
- Strong communication skills with experience engaging directly with brokers and underwriters
- Strong technical modelling capability, including stochastic modelling techniques
- Programming experience in Python, R, or SQL advantageous
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced and evolving environment
