At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. 

We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. 

Join EY and help to build a better working world. 

The EY UK Financial Services Non-Life Actuarial team has a track record of delivering market leading insights and value to our clients.

We have a market leading brand in the Lloyd’s and London Market, known for supporting clients with independent reserve reviews and Actuarial Opinions, capital model validation, as well as supporting clients in transforming their business in areas such as portfolio optimisation, development of new pricing tools, mergers & acquisitions, market entry and reserving transformation.

We work closely with our wider Consulting colleagues to ensure we are supporting the Lloyd’s and London Market to be the best in can be. We also work closely with our Audit colleagues ensuring the market remains financially sound and strong.

We are looking for an experienced Actuary who can lead and help grow further our Lloyd’s and London Market business, looking to build on our successes.

Our UK actuarial practice is a large team with a strong and exciting growth trajectory:

• Our actuarial team is the heartbeat of the EY Insurance team and key to unlocking new opportunities for the Lloyd’s and London Market sector – there are opportunities to work alongside other Insurance professionals with different backgrounds to support all client needs.
• Our Specialty Seminars provide insights and are noted by the market as a differentiator and are regularly discussed by our clients’ C-suites and investors.
• We have a mature portfolio of annuity reserving / Audit revenue  - We provide independent reserve reviews, Actuarial Opinions, and audit over 55% of the Lloyd’s market.
• We work closely with the leading global (re)insurance firms and have strong relationship with the c-suite of these companies across the globe.
• There are significant opportunities to grow the business linked to pricing, exposure management and actuarial transformation.

We place a great focus on our people and offer a great opportunity to learn and develop in a collaborative environment.

At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

The opportunity

The opportunity is to join and be part of the leadership of the Lloyd’s and London Market business within the Non-Life Actuarial team, working closely with the UK Actuarial Partner group and Insurance community within EY.

We are looking for a leader who can consolidate and help us build on our Lloyd’s and London business in the coming years within Consulting.

It is a chance to shape the future growth of the team whilst benefitting from being part of, and having the full support of, a wider, established, actuarial team which has a strong reputation in the market and all the advantages of being part of a "Big 4 firm" with multi-service-line offerings.

This role offers exceptional opportunities for personal growth and advancement, to develop your wider business knowledge, and to build internal and external relationships across disciplines and across borders. 

Our wider actuarial team has a strong reputation in the market for bringing bespoke offerings to our clients which recognise the uniqueness of our clients’ portfolios and needs. 

We have capabilities broader than the conventional actuarial fields of traditional reserving, capital, pricing and modelling:  we also operate as part of wider consultancy projects embracing strategy, risk management, analytics, stochastic reserving, economic capital, capital optimisation, Solvency II and UK, and IFRS 17. 

We are at the forefront of these areas, with best-in-class tools and knowledge, built up over several years. Our business model ensures that: 

• Our expertise extends beyond boutique actuarial consultancies; 
• Our team and our people have autonomy to lead the direction of the business and win the right opportunities;
• We leverage the synergies of being part of broader European and Global actuarial teams; 
• We enjoy the advantages of being part of a "Big 4 firm" with multi-service-line offerings; and 
• Our people enjoy the benefits of being able to participate in a wide variety of actuarial and insurance work; combining audit, audit-related and non-audit projects with a global client reach. 

Your key responsibilities

• Effectively leverage your knowledge and experience to support the delivery of key Actuarial projects, nurture valuable relationships both within EY and with clients, and develop strong capabilities through both formal training and working with senior mentors and talented colleagues.
• Build and lead high performing teams, coaching, mentoring and serving as a role model for our people, and supporting and fostering a positive learning culture.
