Are you a high-calibre GI actuary who thrives where deep technical expertise meets strategic leadership?
This is a rare, high-impact Head of role, exclusive to Star Actuarial, with a market-leading insurance Group. If you love model validation and want a platform where your insights directly influence board-level decisions, this is your next career defining move.
The Opportunity
As the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Solvency II and UK regulatory requirements, you won't just run processes—you will shape them. You will design, develop, and execute the overall model validation scope and plan for a major industry player.
Your Key Impact Areas:
- Regulatory & Model Leadership: Act as the definitive SME for Solvency II and UK regulations, owning the end-to-end internal model validation strategy.
- Risk Appetite & ORSA: Drive the financial risk appetite process. You will establish sharp early-warning indicators, triggers, and limits, while providing pivotal input into Group stress testing, scenario testing, and the wider ORSA process.
- Commercial Growth: Partner with the business to conduct Risk and Capital Assessments for exciting new products, ventures, and strategic propositions.
- Executive Influence: Translate complex actuarial data into compelling, high-level narratives for the Board, senior partners, and key stakeholders.
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.
