- Optimisation of existing portfolios: performance diagnostics, identification of key drivers (mix effects, claims trends, inflation, drifts), pricing action proposals, and impact monitoring over time.
- Pricing tools & technical assets: maintenance and targeted improvements of datasets, models, scripts, and profitability reports, ensuring quality, consistency of definitions, and reproducibility.
- Partner reviews & committees: preparation of review packs and quantified analyses to support partner discussions and internal governance.
✅ Expected Deliverables
You will produce ready-to-use, auditable deliverables that can be used in governance settings and handed over smoothly, including:
- Pricing notes and recommendations
- Portfolio performance analyses and diagnostics
- Committee materials (slides + appendices)

- Excellent actuarial and analytical skills, with the ability to produce robust, decision-grade analyses
- Ability to deliver committee-ready outputs, with structured narratives, clear assumptions, quantified impacts, and traceability
