The Team
An opportunity has arisen for a Director to join KPMG’s Life Insurance Actuarial team. The successful candidate will work on the origination and execution of engagements across Life Insurance. Clients will include direct writers and reinsurers both in the UK and across the world. This is an ideal opportunity for a talented candidate to join a growing and ambitious Insurance Consulting team as an insurance specialist.
You will be a core member of the Actuarial leadership team, supporting the partner team with developing and delivering on KPMG, Insurance and Actuarial Strategy. This will include leading specific propositions and introducing new business as well as delivering the Actuarial aspects of wider Consulting engagements, for example, as part of deals, risk or finance transformation work and contributing to the development of our actuarial team through training and performance management.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
