We are supporting a well-regarded actuarial consulting firm with a footprint in over 20 African markets, in their search for a Senior Actuarial Analyst or qualified Actuary within their Non-Life Insurance division. The role offers significant technical variety, market visibility, and strategic engagement across capital modelling, IFRS 17, product pricing, and regulatory frameworks such as SAM and RBC.

 

This is a career-defining opportunity for a qualified or nearly qualified actuary (1-2 exams away) with strong general insurance experience to contribute to high-impact consulting engagements across the continent.

 

 

What You’ll Be Doing:

 

Leading and delivering client projects across reserving, capital modelling, reinsurance, and product design

Providing IFRS 17 support and HAF responsibilities

Reviewing economic capital and solvency models (SAM/RBC), including stochastic validation

Building and interpreting pricing models (GLMs, GAMs)

Supporting clients with ORSA/FCR projections and business planning

Creating impactful, insight-driven reports that go beyond compliance

Advising clients in 22+ African markets on strategy, optimisation, and regulatory alignment

 

 

What We’re Looking For:

 

A qualified actuary or someone very close to qualification (1–2 exams outstanding)

Minimum 7 years of general insurance actuarial experience (pricing/reserving/capital modelling)

Proficiency in statistical modelling tools – R preferred (or Python)

Consulting experience advantageous, but not essential

Excellent communication and project leadership capabilities

Johannesburg-based preferred; remote candidates considered if exceptionally strong

 

  Interested?

This role suits someone who thrives in a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating environment and who enjoys working across geographies on strategic projects.

 

This is a rare opportunity to join a consulting team that values autonomy, mentorship, and meaningful work over politics and hierarchy.

 

Why This Firm?

This isn’t a massive audit firm. It’s a tight-knit consultancy that treats its team like partners — not numbers. Here, you’ll find:

✔️ Real flexibility and balance
✔️ Exposure across markets and product lines
✔️ A high-trust, low-ego environment
✔️ Mentorship that accelerates your leadership track

 

Please note: We are only accepting applications from suitable candidates currently residing in South Africa or South African Citizens working abroad who wish to return home for this specific role.
