Job Opportunity: Reserving Manager
North Co Recruitment are working with a Lloyd's managing agency to appoint a Reserving Manager into their actuarial function. It's a senior, highly visible role with direct line of sight to the actuarial and finance leadership team, offering real input into reserving decisions across the syndicates under management rather than a narrow technical seat far removed from where decisions get made.
What you'll do
- Own day-to-day oversight of actuarial best estimate reserves and Solvency UK Technical Provisions across the syndicates under management.
- Review and challenge reserving results prepared by external providers and outsourced functions, escalating concerns where needed.
- Partner with Underwriting, Claims, Finance and Risk to set and stress-test key reserving assumptions.
- Prepare and present papers for reserving committees and wider governance forums, including Audit, Risk and Board.
- Contribute reserving input to ORSAs and Actuarial Function Reports, helping ensure processes meet Lloyd's, PRA and IFoA requirements.
- Get involved in the reserving side of wider business change, from process improvements to bringing new syndicates on board.
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.
