Head of Risk (Insurance)

Ready to take your actuarial career beyond pricing?

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified actuary or technical pricing expert looking to step into a more strategic, influential role at the heart of insurance risk.

We're looking for someone with a strong background in pricing and underwriting who wants to apply their technical expertise in a second-line risk function. Rather than focusing on operational risk, you'll challenge pricing models, underwriting strategy and portfolio performance, helping shape key business decisions and supporting the Chief Actuary.

\n
• Providing independent challenge to pricing, underwriting and reinsurance strategies.
\n
• Reviewing pricing models and ensuring they accurately reflect the risks being taken.
\n
• Influencing business strategy through technical insight and robust risk oversight.
\n
• Working closely with actuarial, underwriting and senior leadership teams.
\n
• Supporting capital, stress testing and risk appetite activities.
\n

\n
• Qualified Actuary (or equivalent senior insurance qualification).
\n
• Strong pricing and actuarial experience gained within an insurer or consultancy.
\n
• Deep understanding of how pricing drives profitability, growth and portfolio performance.
\n
• Commercial mindset with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
\n
• Someone looking to broaden their career into strategic insurance risk.

If you're a technically strong actuary who enjoys asking the right questions, influencing decisions and wants to move beyond pure pricing into a high-profile strategic role, I'd love to hear from you.
