We are recruiting an experienced actuary to join an insurance linked securities (ILS) function in an investment capacity.
The role will see the individual responsible for the whole investments process: from initial submission analysis, deciding what counts and what doesn't, performing modelling to understand expected losses, estimating an appropriate price for the deal given internal guidelines, writing up an investment memo, defending it in from of the investments committee etc. The team is involved in the whole range of ILS products.
Please note that we are looking for a very specific skill-set:
- We are looking for a non life reinsurance actuary; you will have experience of working in pricing for a reinsurance company, or perhaps the treaty team of a major (re) insurer or in a similar capacity at a reinsurance broker.
- You need some familiarity with property-related risks and how to analyse them; ideally you will have used major cat modelling tools (AIR, RMS/Moody's etc). More familiarity will ease your transition into the role.
- You need some aptitude for coding; no specific tools required but R and/or Python knowledge would be very handy as a lot of internal analysis is done using them. Again, more knowledge will ease your transition into the role but is not a deal-breaker.
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.
*There is no fellowship requirement as there is no legal actuarial signing responsibility. We will entertain Fellows, Associates, those qualified by experience and even those who've never taken actuarial exams.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Any familiarity with retro, collateralised reinsurance, ILWs, cat bonds etc is very welcome but not essential and will not rule anyone out. Knowledge of financial maths or portfolio management is again useful but not essential.
The role comes with a very competitive base salary and a much higher bonus than one would expect in the (re) insurance world, reflecting the investment environment.
