• Involvement in our in-house actuarial tool development: IFRS17 and SAM reporting
• Continually learning and sharing your knowledge with the wider actuarial team

Most of your work will be project based for a once-off set period time or on a recurring basis, which enables you to work with different team members and subject matter experts, gaining invaluable experience and technical knowledge.
