Description:

My portfolio of clients consist of financial institutions that are continuously exploring where the next generation of financial products are being development. this client is no exception and are currently seeking a hybrid profile capable of leveraging their Actuarial background (part or fully qualified Life) within a derivatives risk management/pricing knowledge to be able to act as a key player towards transactions for the Life Insurance markets.

Suitable applicants will thus be individuals whose experience has demonstrated an equal grounding in covering traditional Life Insurance markets with alternative Capital Market/Investment frameworks (derivatives, ILS etc) and a genuine interest in joining a small team focused in the on-going Risk Management of such hybrid portfolios.

The role has a heavy quantitative element so applicants should demonstrate aptitude in this space (e.g. MSc/PhD in Mathematical/Actuarial subjects) with commercial work experience that has covered derivatives, actuarial or related know-how.

Candidates should provide a list of exemptions from the Actuarial (Life) exams as well as evidence of translating this knowledge into capital market/alternative investment markets.
