QUICK JOB SEARCH

Actuarial Consultant

At IBM Global Business Services (GBS), our expertise ranges across key business issues and deep into 17 industries in virtually every country and every culture. Our business experience is real, and so are the results we deliver to our clients. There’s no substitute for hands-on experience, which is exactly what our consultants bring to each and every engagement.

You could be part of the most interesting projects on the planet; helping our clients and colleagues create innovative; game-changing strategies; taking on challenges of which others can only dream. Working with us is all about starting each day knowing you have a chance to make a big impact.

The application of business analytics is opening up important new possibilities for clients and promises to transform the way consulting is practiced. Bringing together sophisticated analytics from IBM Research with market-leading software platforms, deep industry insight and business consulting expertise, IBM’s Business Analytics and Optimization (BAO) service line helps clients gain greater precision and predictability out of every business decision they make. With the help of IBM’s BAO practice, clients now can understand the consequences of any business decision allowing them to operate at a new level of intelligence, far beyond sense and respond.

This role is specifically aimed at candidates with significant insurance industry experience, across Life Assurance and General Insurance

Product Expertise:
GBS is broadly product agnostic, so we are looking for people with skills in industry standard tools. We would like candidates to have experience in some of the following top tier products:
  • Actuarial modeling engines (including Prophet, MoSes, ViPTech, Igloo)
  • ETL: IBM InfoSphere DataStage, Informatica, Ab-Initio
  • Database: DB2, Oracle, SAS, Teradata
  • BI and Reporting: Cognos, Business Objects, Oracle

Industry Expertise:
The applicants will be qualified or part-qualified actuaries, but we will consider applicants who can demonstrate comparable experience and understanding. Limited study support may be available.
Applicants should have considerable change experience, and a practical knowledge of large development projects. They should have a solid foundation in actuarial systems, having worked with actuarial modelling engines, and, ideally, data warehouses. Ideally their experience will cover a broad range of change within finance and actuarial functions, including people and process change as well as systems.
We would prefer candidates with verifiable project management skills.
Experience of Solvency II and other regulation-driven change would be hugely valuable.

We are client-centred, values-orientated, team led and mentor supported. It is a fast-paced, stimulating environment – one that never lacks challenges. You will always be learning and developing the skills you need to succeed. IBM GBS offers numerous paths to career success. While most traditional consulting firms offer a single route to a leadership position, we have four career paths that focus on consulting, sales, delivery and technical competencies.

At IBM we offer competitive packages that will be strongly influenced by the results you deliver and by our overall business performance. Cash compensation opportunities include base pay, performance bonus, awards and other forms of earning. IBM UK has an award winning flexible benefits package You*, that allows employees to pick and choose from a menu of benefits to suit your own personal situation.
