We will count on you to:

  • Partner closely with Reinsurance brokers to support portfolio strategy, client engagement, and business growth initiatives.
  • Perform technical assessments across general insurance portfolios, including pricing adequacy, volatility analysis, retention optimization, and reinsurance structuring.
  • Develop, validate, and interpret analytical outputs using sound actuarial judgment and first principles thinking.
  • Build and review loss projections, stress scenarios, and portfolio performance metrics to support reinsurance decision making.
  • Translate technical analysis into commercially relevant insights and clear, market facing narratives.
  • Support the structuring and optimization of proportional and non proportional reinsurance solutions, including quota share, excess of loss, and hybrid arrangements.
  • Collaborate with brokers and regional stakeholders on client presentations, strategic discussions, and renewal negotiations.
  • Use internal tools, including MetaRisk, portfolio models, and bespoke analytical frameworks, to develop practical reinsurance solutions.
  • Challenge assumptions, validate methodologies, and ensure outputs are technically robust, commercially relevant, and aligned with governance standards.
  • Take ownership of deliverables while working within established peer review and oversight frameworks.
  • Contribute to analytics framework development, process improvement, and knowledge sharing across regional teams.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with brokers, clients, reinsurers, and internal stakeholders across IMEA.

What you need to have:

  • Qualified or near qualified actuary (FIAI, FIA, FCAS, or equivalent).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Data Science, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • 8+ years of relevant actuarial or reinsurance analytics experience.
  • Strong technical understanding of actuarial principles, portfolio analytics, and reinsurance structures.
  • Ability to independently assess analytical reasonability, validate outputs, and identify inconsistencies or flawed assumptions.
  • Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to connect technical findings to practical market outcomes.
  • Ability to communicate complex analytical concepts clearly and concisely to both technical and non technical stakeholders.
  • High attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability for quality.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver under tight timelines in a fast paced environment.
  • Collaborative working style, with strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills.

What makes you stand out:

  • Experience within a reinsurance broker, reinsurer, or insurer environment.
  • Prior exposure to client facing discussions, renewal support, and reinsurance placement strategy.
  • Experience working across multiple markets and product lines within a regional setup.
  • Familiarity with analytical and visualization tools such as R, Python, SQL, Alteryx, Power BI, or equivalent platforms.
  • Ability to balance technical depth with commercial practicality and high quality communication.

Why join Guy Carpenter?

  • Opportunity to work on high impact reinsurance decisions across the IMEA region.
  • Exposure to a multi market, regional portfolio and diverse client challenges.
