7 days ago

Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Canada Life Group Full time

Join to apply for the Senior Actuary role at Canada Life Reinsurance.

We are looking for a Senior Actuary to join our Actuarial Development team on a Fixed Term Contract basis.

What we offer

We have embraced a hybrid working model for most of our positions, which means that you can enjoy a balanced approach of working from home for part of the week and working from the office for the remainder of the week.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including competitive salaries and bonuses, robust Learning and Development support, excellent Defined Contribution pension and comprehensive Wellbeing initiatives.

Role Overview

After a very successful period of growth, CL Re has developed a significant and diverse portfolio of reinsurance transactions. The New Business Support and Oversight team provides actuarial oversight of the methodologies and assumptions used in new reinsurance transactions and supports their implementation into the actuarial reporting production environment.

A bright, talented and motivated individual is sought to fill a senior actuary role on the team. This role would suit a curious, ambitious and innovative actuary who:

  • Enjoys working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Relishes the opportunity to work with complex transaction structures and senior stakeholders.

This role offers both:

  • A rare opportunity to work at the forefront of the industry, working with large volumes of asset and insurance risk, playing a role in both technical and commercial decision-making, and working with both the reporting and commercial teams.
  • Significant exposure to senior stakeholders across CL Re.

This is a one-year contract role to cover a maternity leave. The successful candidate will be well positioned to apply for a permanent position as they arise.

What you will help us to achieve

  • Play a leading role in the Actuarial Development's review and challenge of new business propositions.
  • Review and develop the relevant actuarial methodologies and techniques, including working with senior actuaries across CL Re and keeping up to date with industry developments.
  • Draft accurate, clear and concise documentation and effectively communicate key insights and conclusions to all stakeholders.
  • Support the new business approvals process through the various CL Re and Lifeco function holders, committees and boards.
  • Work with the Business Development, Actuarial Reporting, Finance and Operations teams on the implementation of actuarial modelling and reporting requirements of new transactions.
  • Provide general actuarial oversight and ensure compliance with Group policies, professional standards, and regulatory guidelines.
  • Keep up to date with emerging experience and best practice through engagement with colleagues across Lifeco, the relevant professional bodies and individual research.

What you will need to be successful in the role

  • An actuarial qualification with at least three years in a life insurance or life reinsurance environment.
  • Experience in data management, cash flow modelling, financial reporting, capital reporting, experience studies, basis review, audit or risk management.
  • Extensive experience with MS Excel, MS Access, MS Word and MS PowerPoint.
  • Experience working with actuarial modelling software (ideally Prophet), data management software (e.g. SQL) and data visualisation software (e.g. Power BI).
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret model results, review for reasonableness and understand the implications.
  • Well-developed verbal and written communication skills, particularly the ability to effectively communicate complex concepts to different audiences.
  • An assertive and self-motivated personality with the capacity to work autonomously, as part of a team and across teams.
  • A demonstrated ability to influence other role holders and teams where there is a material dependency without a reporting line.
  • An ability to plan work, manage time effectively and deal with changing requirements to ensure timely completion of all deliverables.
  • The capacity to solve problems and make decisions effectively and efficiently.
  • An enthusiastic approach to work with a strong work ethic, a keen appetite to learn and develop, and a willingness to work to a flexible schedule.
