How You’ll Make an Impact
You’ll analyse (re)insurers’ financial performance, capital adequacy, profitability, liquidity, leverage and credit risk. You’ll build and maintain rating agency capital models, forecasts, budgets, stress tests and sensitivity analysis. You’ll use these to support FP&A work and wider planning.
You’ll also look at the impact of capital actions, reinsurance structures, strategy changes and rating methodology updates. You’ll turn complex data, including IFRS 17 reporting, into clear summaries, presentations and recommendations for senior leaders. You’ll prepare analytical material for rating agency meetings, support client discussions and help tell the story behind the numbers.
Alongside this, you’ll review junior analysts’ work, keep deliverables accurate, and help improve tools, automation and team methods. You’ll work across teams and time zones, so clear communication and steady follow-through will matter.
