About UK Life Branch:

With the offices in London and Madrid, it forms the Life 1 division of Munich Re. The UK life market is one of the, if not the, most competitive life markets in the world. We understand that Life insurers work in a dynamic market where medical progress, demographic trends and changing lifestyles are constantly giving rise to new risk landscapes. This demanding situation is made even more challenging by changing laws and regulations and ever tougher competition. So we need a smart strategy and structure in order to succeed.

At UK & Ireland Life we have three pillars to our business strategy, protection, longevity and reinsurance structuring. All three are key to the success of our business so it’s important to look at the big picture.
In terms of clients, we trust them as experts of their business and provide them with the financial strength of the world’s largest reinsurer, global expertise and sharp pricing so that they are both competitive and profitable.

About the role:

The Longevity In-Force Actuary plays an important role supporting the delivery of efficient in-force management in a rapidly growing longevity portfolio, covering UK and Dutch business from a wide range of clients.

As part of a small team of Longevity In-Force actuaries, they will be involved in a range of actuarial responsibilities, from the regular duties (like model reconciliation, data true-ups, validation of fixed and floating lines and validation of collateral calculations), to the more complex projects (like mortality basis reviews and deal restructuring), and everything in between.
