• You will be a qualified or partially qualified actuary and have a degree-level qualification;

What We Look For We are in a strong position to build on our existing client-base which varies by market sector, and by size. These projects are demanding an increased level of classic consulting skills - more intensive client interaction, much wider than actuarial, and up to senior executive and board level.
