The opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Actuarial Manager to provide strategic leadership and shape the future of claims performance across our CTP and Workers Compensation products.

As a trusted advisor to the claims business, you will provide technical leadership and deliver reporting and insights that directly influence operational excellence, customer outcomes, performance improvement, and wider claim initiatives.

About QBE

At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.

We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact.

It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.

What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented, and kind.

As the Actuarial Manager, you will play a key role in supporting Performance Reporting & Analytics, Portfolio Insights & Strategic Initiatives, and Stakeholder Engagement & Commercial Leadership.

This is a non-traditional actuarial role that offers an existing opportunity to lead with technical excellence while contributing to wider strategic initiatives that make a real difference to our customers in their time of need.

Key Responsibilities will include:

• Lead the development of a comprehensive reporting suite covering operational, financial, customer, workforce, and regulatory metrics
• Integrate actuarial performance measures (such as continuance rates, average payments, and activity metrics) into a multi-jurisdictional reporting framework
• Conduct deep-dive portfolio analyses to inform strategic claims initiatives and identify emerging trends
• Support predictive analytics and AI-driven tools to enhance case management and performance interventions
• Build strong relationships across the People Risk business and external partners
• Lead commercial negotiations and performance briefings with key stakeholders

• High attention to detail, and a proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
