About the Role

Wilton Bright has been exclusively retained by a leading institution in the financial sector to recruit a Senior Risk Actuary who will play a critical role in shaping enterprise-level risk strategy.

This position is ideal for an experienced actuary who is ready to move beyond technical modelling into a high-impact, strategic function. You will act as a key link between actuarial analysis, risk leadership, and Board-level decision-making — helping the organisation translate complexity into clarity.

 

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of advanced risk models (regulatory and economic capital)
  • Own and enhance ORSA processes, capital projections and stress-testing frameworks
  • Design and implement risk metrics (KRI/KPIs) to monitor exposure and resilience
  • Collaborate with Risk, Compliance, Finance, ESG and Executive Strategy teams
  • Deliver clear insights to senior stakeholders and Board Committees
  • Contribute to the strategic integration of risk into business planning and product design

 

Profile & Background

  • Qualified actuary (IA|BE, IFoA, DAV or equivalent)
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in insurance, reinsurance or consulting (risk focus)
  • Solid understanding of Solvency II, ORSA, ESG risk, and IFRS 17
  • Experience with scenario analysis, stress testing, and risk aggregation
  • Strong communication skills – ability to explain technical topics to non-technical stakeholders
  • Ambition to grow into a leadership role (e.g., Head of Risk or future CRO)

 

Why Apply?

This is more than an actuarial role — it’s a stepping stone toward strategic influence.
You’ll be part of a forward-thinking organisation that views actuarial science as a core driver of governance and growth, not just compliance.

You’ll enjoy:

  • High visibility within the executive and board ecosystem
  • Broad exposure to multi-dimensional risk topics
  • A leadership track in a respected and regulated environment
  • A compensation package reflective of your impact and expertise
