Senior Reserving Analyst

Join the reserving team of a leading Lloyd's/London Market Insurer, reporting to the Reserving Manager and playing a key part in both the quarterly reserve reviews and the ongoing development of the reserving process.

You’ll produce draft reserving studies for your allocated business segments, including best estimate reserves and currency allocations, interpreting the data and selecting assumptions for review by the reserving manager or head of reserving. You’ll also help present key insights, uncertainties and recommendations to stakeholders, including the Reserving Committee.

Alongside the quarterly cycle, you’ll look for ways to get more insight out of reserving and help deliver improvements through process and model design, build, testing and documentation. You’ll also contribute to group-wide projects on reserving, insurance risk parameterisation and wider strategic initiatives.

You’ll need to have started the actuarial exams with a commitment to qualifying, at least three years’ experience in a reserving role within an actuarial team, and a solid understanding of London market reserving techniques and challenges. A numerate degree, advanced Excel skills and a consultative approach with the ability to work autonomously are also key. Experience with SQL, PowerQuery, Python, Power BI, VS Code or VBA in an insurance context would be highly desirable, and ResQ and Unify would be a bonus.

Experience of reserving process design or transformation, and an interest in applying AI to actuarial processes, would also be a real plus. The team puts real emphasis on continuous improvement, a strong feedback culture and an inclusive environment, so this would suit someone keen to develop and bring fresh ideas.

Hybrid working is 3 days in the London office. Unfortunately they can not provide VISAs.

This role is with Eames exclusively.
