lifetime opportunity. Based in Toronto,
Canadas financial centre, you will be located
in the heart of the insurance industry while
living very close to the outdoor wonders of
Niagara Falls, the Great Lakes and Blue
Mountain ski resort. Toronto, given its
southern location, is only a short drive to the
US border for long weekend getaways or a
short flight to cities like New York and Boston.
The quality of life is outstanding in Canada,
even better if youre an actuary.
This global insurer is looking for an actuary to
join as a Director within its Corporate Risk
team as it moves to create a framework for
economic capital management. Its a great
opportunity to gain exposure to risk
management while developing the
methodology for calculating standardised risk
measures for quantifying the company's
exposure to financial risks.
Working in a small, niche team within the
Corporate Risk division you will be
responsible for liaising with various business
units throughout the organisation while
gaining a clear understanding of current risk
calculations, researching economic capital
strategies and trends, creating and using
stochastic models to calculate economic
capital as well as streamlining the entire
framework for ease of use and reporting.
If you are a life insurance, pensions or
investment actuary who is proactive,
motivated and keen to expand your
knowledge base then this role may be for you.
Having had exposure to corporate risk
management in your current or previous roles
will put you at an advantage over other
applicants. This client realises that cross over
from traditional actuarial work to corporate
risk is not a huge jump and would be
interested to see you if you are motivated
to move.

Non Life Pricing Actuary
(London, UK)
Up to �70k
Sitting within a team of eight including two
administration staff, your main functions will
be to assist with ad hoc projects and case
pricing. Focus is on significant pieces of
business or those that are particularly
complicated, including projects that are
commissioned by the underwriters where the
structures are developed from scratch or
using existing principles and bringing them up
to speed. Clients for case pricing include,
Underwriters for specific business lines,
Business Managers for internal sales and
relationship leaders with responsibility for
particularly large clients.
Project work is largely driven by the UK based
underwriters. The UK business is responsible
for creating and enhancing practices and then
rolling these out into the European and
international business units, namely Zurich
and Chicago. In a varied environment, the
team aims to have each individual involved in
all aspects of the work. Depending on the
experience of the person joining the team, the
responsibility in the first instance may vary,
though the aim will be to move quickly into a
support role and then a lead position on
the projects.
Working with the front office staff to convey
complex issues, communication skills and the
ability to work in balance with the underwriters
and to take a subjective viewpoint are key
attributes within the role. Ideally, pricing
experience within the London markets is
sought, however, time and training will be
given to those from other non-life disciplines
who show the enthusiasm to diversify their
skills base.
