About the role
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced General Insurance Actuary to join NFU Mutual's Actuarial Function within the Risk division. Supporting the GI Chief Actuary, you'll provide independent oversight and challenge across reserving, pricing, underwriting, and reinsurance, helping to ensure important actuarial decisions are robust, well-reasoned, and support the long-term success of the business.
Working as part of a small and highly visible team, you'll lead independent reviews of actuarial work across the business, assessing methodologies, assumptions, and outcomes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and providing expert insight to senior stakeholders. You'll produce clear reports, present findings to senior stakeholders, and support Executive and Board-level decision-making through constructive challenge and independent actuarial opinion.
Unlike many actuarial roles that focus on a single specialism, this position offers broad exposure across multiple disciplines and stakeholder groups. You'll work closely with teams across Underwriting, Pricing, Claims, Finance, and Risk, bringing fresh perspectives, supporting continuous improvement, and helping to shape the future direction of actuarial oversight at NFU Mutual.
With exposure to both personal and commercial insurance, a large actuarial community, and a wide range of career opportunities across the business, this role offers an excellent platform for someone looking to broaden their experience.
About you
You’ll be a fully qualified Actuary with significant General Insurance experience and the technical credibility to independently review, question, and challenge complex actuarial work. Ideally, you’ll have experience across at least two of reserving, pricing, and capital modelling.
