Description

As an Actuarial Analyst at CFC, you'll be working at the centre of how we understand and improve underwriting performance. Sitting within the Performance Management team, you'll get involved in a broad mix of analysis, reporting and project work that directly informs how we make commercial decisions across the business.

The work you produce will be visible, used, and relied upon. You'll be helping to answer real questions about performance, pricing and portfolio direction, and you'll see the impact of that work play out in how we operate.

As part of your role, you will have the opportunity to engage with underwriting and claims teams, as well as other support functions such as products, software development, and finance.

It's a great opportunity to build a strong understanding of how the business connects, and to develop your commercial awareness alongside your actuarial skillset.

What you'll be doing

• Carry out quantitative analysis using both probabilistic and deterministic approaches, helping to break down complex problems and suggest practical solutions
• Support the development and ongoing improvement of pricing tools, helping to ensure they remain accurate, relevant and fit for purpose
• Work with stakeholders across the business to understand data requirements and translate these into clear, usable outputs
• Produce regular and ad hoc reporting, with clear commentary that explains what the numbers are telling us and why it matters
• Contribute to wider team activity, supporting projects and analysis alongside other members of the Performance Management team

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• A degree in a numerate subject such as Actuarial Science, Mathematics or Statistic
• Currently studying towards actuarial exams, ideally with 1-3 exams passed or relevant exemptions
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to work with data and draw clear conclusion
• Comfortable using Excel or similar tools to handle and interpret data
• Good attention to detail, with a structured and methodical approach
• Clear communicator, able to explain findings in a straightforward and practical way
• Curious and motivated, with an interest in how actuarial work supports business performance

We'll support you through the actuarial qualification process with study support, exam leave and access to experienced mentors across the team. You'll have the opportunity to build both your technical capability and your understanding of how actuarial work feeds into commercial decision-making.
