Capital Modelling Manager

We have a fantastic opportunity to join our well-established Capital Modelling team as a Capital Modelling Manager.   The Capital Modelling team operates as a split location team across London and Leeds and we welcome applicants based out of either location.

The Capital Modelling team has grown in recent years due to growth in model use and additional regulatory requirements.  The team is structured into risk area owners, to allow the development of expertise, and risk area responsibilities are reviewed annually, to allow the team to develop wider knowledge.

Within this role you will utilise your technical expertise both within the team and cross functionally and work closely with senior stakeholders. This role would be great for a qualified actuary who already has a wealth of experience within Capital Modelling, ideally using Igloo. Flexibility within the team means this role would equally suit someone looking to be a people manager or someone who prefers to remain as a subject matter expert (SME) without formal line management responsibilities. We value flexibility at QBE so please feel free to talk to us about our flexible working options.

Your New Role:  

The purpose of this role is to lead projects for capital modelling and reporting, ensuring effective capital management across the company.  This will include supporting both regulatory submissions (including to Lloyd’s, the PRA and the NBB) and model uses.

Given the fast pace and cyclical demand, it’s important that you already have an in-depth understanding of the workings of an Actuarial department and be driven to succeed.

Your primary responsibilities will include: 

• Develop and manage systems and procedures in Capital Modelling to ensure accurate data is used and appropriate analyses produced.
• Designing, planning and executing Capital Modelling projects to address business problems and objectives.  Manage own and team workflow, working largely independently and escalating for support when needed.  Managing expectations for delivery, ensuring robust level of review and governance.
• Support Capital Modelling insight to QBE planning, investment and underwriting portfolio management, capital and volatility management, and reinsurance.
• Coordinate with other teams in the QBE Capital Modelling function, to enable appropriate consistency of process and encourage the sharing and adopting of best practice.
• Manage relevant formal documentation related to economic capital management, Economic Capital Modelling (ECM) uses and reporting to governance forums.
• Engage with key stakeholders across QBE and promote the use of the ECM to enhance decision-making and consistency in risk assessment processes.
• Comply with all material legal and regulatory requirements, adhere to relevant actuarial standards and good practice.
• Identify opportunities for ECM improvement in methodology, reliability, consistency and business use.
• (If including people management responsibilities) Perform all management functions including capacity negotiation and planning, performance feedback and involvement in recruitment and HR processes.  Drive the professional and career development of direct reports.
• Development of the wider team, including coaching, knowledge sharing and best practices.

About you:  

To thrive in the role of a Capital Modelling Manager, we would expect you to have:

• Significant relevant General Insurance work experience.
• Advanced user of capital modelling software (Igloo, ReMetrica or Tyche).
• Experience of working with senior stakeholders.
• Excellent communication skills to effectively manage and influence stakeholders and explain technical actuarial concepts.
• Qualified actuary or qualified by experience.
