JOB TITLE: GI Risk Actuary
SALARY: £114,606 - £134,830
LOCATION(S): The candidate should work in one of our hubs in Edinburgh, Leeds, Cardiff / Newport, or Bristol.
HOURS: Full-time
WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites.
About this opportunity
An opportunity has arisen in the Insurance, Pensions & Investments Risk team, focusing on our General Insurance business. Given the increasing importance of general insurance lines (mainly household but motor and pet broking) to our proposition, we are looking to bring in a Senior Risk Manager to strengthen our GI oversight. The role sits in a small team reporting to the Head of Financial & Insurance Risk but would work across the department in virtual teams and with other senior stakeholders.
Day to day, you will:
- As a key player in the GI Claims and Reserving, Exposure Management, and Pricing and Performance Committees, you will actively challenge first line teams on technical provisions, reserve margins, and uncertainties, driving improvements and efficiencies-especially through smarter data use.
- You'll deliver sharp oversight and advice on pricing and performance, scrutinising models, strategies, reserving approaches and techniques, and loss trends, while challenging the business on market trends, emerging risks, and best practice.
- We expect you to support and robustly challenge strategic and commercial decisions across the business cycle, lead deep dive risk reviews into the financials of the GI business, and bring financial rigour to non-financial risk reviews.
- Your expertise will help ensure regulatory and professional compliance, and you'll play a pivotal role in shaping GI and reinsurance risk appetites.
- You would be expected to work closely and collaboratively with the first line teams and should be prepared to travel to other key hubs as needed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
