Senior Consultant/Manager

Your opportunity

Join Deloitte's leading Actuarial, Reward and Analytics practice and apply your skills in projects reaching beyond traditional actuarial boundaries. We have a number of exciting positions in the Actuarial Modelling Centre within Deloitte's leading Analytics and Quantitative Modelling team.

We are looking for people with and without actuarial experience who wish to focus on modelling. We will consider actuarial candidates from other backgrounds (e.g. pensions) and those who have gained some of the above skills through a non-traditional actuarial background such as actuarial technicians (including partially qualified who have stopped taking the exams), statisticians, business analysts and project managers. You will be exposed to cutting edge actuarial modelling work in a strategic, consulting and transactional context. Here you'll develop an impressive range of actuarial modelling skills that will multiply your career opportunities.

Our practice has both breadth and technical depth which is increasingly important in an ever-changing regulatory landscape. You can expect to be involved in a number of key services, ranging from asset liability modelling and stochastic and deterministic modelling covering the likes of Solvency II, IFRS2, model rationalisation, finance transformations, M&A, ICA and audits, using various industry modelling tools and applications. All of this is underpinned by our cutting-edge actuarial modelling centre, working with FIS iWorks Prophet, Towers Watson MoSes and Algorithmics AFM to further develop and enhance our way of working.

Human Capital

Join the world’s leading HR and people transformation business and help create the Future of Work for major corporations. You’ll develop trusted relationships with senior business stakeholders.  As part of a practice that brings research and analytics expertise together with deep industry knowledge, you’ll develop change programmes that are not only innovative, but deliver the most positive impact for all.

Your role

• Actively contribute to a wide range of actuarial modelling projects;
• Manage small teams of junior actuarial trainees as part of a larger project, including performance management and improve their modelling skills through on-the-job coaching;
• Have extensive client contact, including dealing with queries, attending meetings with support and working on client sites;
• Contribute to practice management, for example mentoring less experienced colleagues and involvement in developing the actuarial modelling centre.

We take your development very seriously.  Our appraisal process is structured, transparent and interactive - you'll receive continuous training and ongoing supportive feedback to help you develop in your current role and progress through the grades to manager and beyond.

We foster an open and friendly working environment that naturally allows everyone to learn from the wide range of experts within the practice.

We also believe in structured development through formal training and personal development plans, covering areas such as:

• Actuarial modelling skills;
• Building relationships;
• Project Management;
• Business development; and
• Consulting skills

• The ability to apply your knowledge in practical and commercial situations.

• A solid academic track record, ideally a degree in actuarial science with progress in actuarial exams, or a quantitative subject such as maths and computer science.

Your service line: Consulting

Our people and the way we work are the two things that set us apart in the consulting universe. For us, collaboration is fundamental to success, along with an unrivalled depth and breadth of expertise. We work closely with our clients and each other, at every stage of every project, solving our clients’ trickiest problems with a mix of knowledge, creativity and intellectual rigour. A hugely diverse range of clients rely on us to deliver the kind of change that adds genuine, lasting value to their business.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints. This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm.  The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.
