We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Actuarial Analyst to join the Unit Pricing team at NFU Mutual, where you’ll use your financial skills to turn analytical insights into value-adding BAU and change activity.

As Senior Actuarial Analyst you’ll be part of a supportive team that’s responsible for the unit prices across our business.
