About the Role
The Senior Consulting Actuary role focuses on supporting clients across a broad range of general insurance work, with responsibility for both winning and delivering projects. This includes capital modelling, reserving, pricing, risk management, and wider actuarial and strategic support for insurers and reinsurers. A key part of the role is building strong client relationships and identifying new opportunities while delivering high quality work across varied assignments. You will manage multiple projects, combining technical expertise, commercial awareness, and leadership to support clients and contribute to the continued growth of the team.

Typical activities include delivering high quality actuarial support to insurance and reinsurance clients by analysing data, building models, and explaining results clearly; managing client work end to end, setting priorities, coordinating teams, reviewing outputs, and ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met; acting as a key contact for clients, responding to queries, presenting findings, and building strong working relationships; reviewing and developing methodologies, assumptions, and models with clear recommendations; collaborating with colleagues across teams to deliver wider solutions and share technical knowledge; and supporting business development through identifying opportunities, contributing to pitches, and producing thought leadership or marketing content.

Howden is a global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. We are united by a shared passion and a no-limits mindset, with a people-first approach that drives our inclusive culture, quality service, and continued growth. We empower talented individuals to make a real difference for clients while building successful and fulfilling careers.
