Actuarial Model Risk Analyst
Life Reinsurance | London | Nearly Qualified Actuary
I'm working with a leading global life reinsurer looking to hire an Actuarial Model Risk Analyst into its Model Risk Management team.
This is a strong opportunity for a nearly qualified actuary who enjoys technical actuarial work but wants broader exposure across the business, rather than being tied to one specific reporting, pricing or modelling area.
The team provides independent assurance to senior management and the Board around the robustness of key actuarial models, while also working closely with model owners to improve model design, processes and controls. You would gain exposure to a wide range of models across pricing, reporting, economic capital and R&D, as well as different modelling platforms and methodologies.
What will you be doing?
You'll work across a varied portfolio of actuarial models, with responsibilities including:
- Independently reviewing and validating actuarial models
- Assessing model methodologies, assumptions, controls and overall robustness
- Performing independent baselining and challenging modelling approaches where appropriate
- Supporting reviews following significant model changes
- Monitoring remediation actions arising from previous reviews
- Reviewing model inventory and risk assessments
- Supporting wider model risk initiatives and the development of modelling best practice
- Contributing to management information and reporting for senior stakeholders
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.
Why consider it?
The attraction here is the breadth of exposure.
Rather than working within a single actuarial function, you'll get visibility across multiple areas of a global reinsurance business and develop a much broader understanding of how actuarial models are used, challenged and governed.
It should particularly suit someone who wants to:
- Broaden their experience beyond their current actuarial specialism
- Develop stronger technical review and judgement skills
- Gain exposure to senior stakeholders and important business-critical models
- Understand pricing, reporting, capital and R&D from a wider perspective
- Build experience that could ultimately lead towards model risk, actuarial risk, governance, capital or broader senior actuarial roles

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What are they looking for?
Ideally you will be a nearly qualified actuary with:
- A good understanding of the life insurance industry
- Strong analytical and technical skills
- Experience working with actuarial models and modelling software
- An understanding of risk and control frameworks
- The confidence to challenge methodologies and form an independent view
- Strong communication and report-writing skills
- The ability to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively across teams
You do not necessarily need to come from an existing model risk or validation role. Someone from reporting, capital, pricing, modelling or another technically focused actuarial team could be very relevant if they enjoy understanding how models work and questioning whether approaches are appropriate.
