  • Skills and Abilities : Proven analytical and problem-solving skills; strong quantitative abilities; proficiency with actuarial software and programming languages such as SAS, R, and Python.

Experience in areas like product development and pricing, capital management, risk management, asset and liability valuation, IFRS 17, Prophet modelling, embedded value reporting, unit pricing, and retirement incomes is advantageous.
  • Project Management and Leadership : Ability to manage projects, seek new business opportunities, and mentor junior staff. Demonstrates initiative, a can-do attitude, and a willingness to try new approaches.
