- Lead reserving and technical provisions, ensuring robust best‑estimate methodology, transparent assumptions and regular reserve reviews.
- Oversee risk‑capital modelling, ensuring models meet SST requirements and support Solvency II group aggregation in close partnership with Risk Management.
- Provide actuarial oversight of the reinsurance program, including evaluations of capital and P&L impacts.
- Act as the actuarial interface to regulators and auditors, ensuring clear communication and high‑quality regulatory submissions for ART AG, ART Bermuda and ART LoB.
- Contribute actuarial insight to strategic planning, including capital considerations, portfolio steering and long‑term development of the ART business.
What You’ll Bring to the Role
- Qualified actuary; university degree in actuarial science, mathematics, physics, or finance.
- 10+ years senior actuarial or quantitative risk management experience.
- Deep knowledge of non-life (re)insurance business and non-traditional ART LoB.
- In‑depth understanding of ART actuarial methodologies, including reserving approaches, underwriting‑risk modelling, and regulatory frameworks such as SST and Solvency II.
- Experience interacting with regulatory bodies.
- Ability to make sense of complex issues, navigate ambiguity and take clear, well‑judged action.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to adapt style to different audiences and ensure messages are understood.
- Strong people‑leadership skills, with the ability to motivate teams in a dynamic environment and support them through change.
- The ability to ensure ethical AI practices and stay updated with emerging AI technologies will be key to maintaining a competitive advantage.
- Proven ability to lead and develop international and/or virtual teams within a complex global matrix environment.
