AddressAre you looking to build your experience within Reserving with good progress made with the Actuarial exams?
If so, and if you are interested in applying your knowledge within one of the largest insurers in the world, with a global footprint in 54 countries and excellent employee benefits then we would love to hear from you!
You will be a member of the Chubb Global Markets (CGM) reserving function, consisting of six people.
The CGM reserving team, have responsibility for reserving across all classes of CGM business written by the Chubb Syndicate and London Market company, including Aviation, Energy, Political Risks, Marine, Financial Lines, Terrorism, International Casualty, Environmental Liability, Tech Risks and Property.
This role will involve undertaking quarterly reserving analyses with a focus on specific lines of business for which you will have primary responsibility. There will be a need for regular communication with all business partners in the reserving process, including Underwriting, Claims, Actuarial and Finance. Developing and managing relationships with these business partners is a key requirement for the role. You will initially support the reporting of your analysis results to senior management, taking overall responsibility for this over time.
This role will also provide support to the Solvency II Technical Provision and Reserve Risk processes, including quarterly and annual Solvency reporting to Lloyd’s and other regulatory and internal reporting relating to the reserves and capital.
The role requires a collaborative, team-based approach to working and the ability to manage conflicting demands in a timely manner, with work often being required for a number of different business partners at the same time.
While reserving is the primary purpose of the role, there will be regular opportunities to work with actuarial colleagues in the Pricing, Planning and Capital Modelling teams.
