About the Role
Valayo is working with a leading UK General Insurer on a senior opportunity to lead and further develop their Model Validation function.
One of the biggest attractions of this role is the flexibility around how and where you work, offering a genuinely flexible setup alongside a senior actuarial leadership position and strong work-life balance.
Responsibilities
You'll take ownership of the Validation function and wider Model Risk Management, with the opportunity to shape the validation framework, determine the scope and plan of activity, and influence how validation continues to develop across the business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
The role also offers significant senior stakeholder exposure. You'll work closely with the Chief Actuary, CRO, and Head of Capital, while presenting key findings and recommendations to Committees and Boards.
There's plenty of variety across the position, with involvement in risk appetite, stress and scenario testing, ORSA, regulatory work, and risk and capital assessments for new products and propositions.
