SUMMARY :

Are you ready to take the reins of an established, niche-focused actuarial team within a dynamic life insurance environment? This is your opportunity to guide capital strategy, elevate analytics infrastructure, and work at the forefront of cell-based insurance innovation—without sacrificing complexity or compliance integrity.

Recruiter : Network Recruitment

Job Ref : NFP / HN

Date posted :

Monday, June 30, 2025

Location :

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY :

POSITION INFO : Actuarial Manager

The Role :

We’re looking for an experienced Life Actuary with deep SAM exposure and a passion for shaping solvency, capital, and risk models. You’ll lead a team responsible for core regulatory valuation, capital modelling, and actuarial insights across a diverse and evolving portfolio. This is not a traditional insurer and this is not a role for the passive. It’s where data meets design, and regulations meet innovation.

What You’ll Be Responsible For :

Architect and enhance the SAM-compliant technical provisions and solvency models (Prophet mastery essential)
Develop and implement actuarial governance processes for valuation, ORSA, and capital assessments
Engage Auditors, senior leadership, and clients in strategic actuarial discussions
Drive thought leadership in cell-based models, reinsurance optimisation, and future product structures
Collaborate across finance, compliance, and onboarding to deliver proactive actuarial sign-off
Lead regulatory change readiness (IFRS 17, Insurance Act, and Prudential Standards)
Manage and mentor a technical team, embedding a culture of excellence and learning

Ideal Profile :

Fellow or Associate Actuary (Life)

6+ years of relevant experience in life insurance modelling, capital or valuation

3+ years in a team or people leadership role

Technical wizardry with Prophet and discounted cash flow models

Deep working knowledge of SAM, especially SCR breakdowns and capital requirements for life insurers

Bonus : Cell-captive or multi-entity reporting experience

You Bring :

Curiosity & Compliance : You’re comfortable in spreadsheets and boardrooms

Vision & Detail : You can see beyond the numbers—but never miss a decimal

Confidence & Collaboration : You speak your mind and listen twice as hard

Why Apply? :

High-impact role with visibility and voice

Work with diverse clients, regulatory frameworks, and actuarial complexity

Lead future-facing initiatives in an evolving, agile actuarial function
