About Risk We're a leading provider of trust in the digital world - in the eyes of our people, our clients and our stakeholders. Today's business environment is different. More complex.

This makes us the largest actuarial practice within the large accounting firms. We play the leading role in the 1000+ strong actuarial community in PwC worldwide and often work with specialists from other disciplines within PwC. A career within the Non-Life Actuarial team will provide you with the opportunity to contribute general insurance advice and consulting services to clients such as insurers, regulators, private equity, and related companies such as agents and administrators. You'll provide advice covering solvency, economic capital, risk management, mergers and acquisitions, company restructuring and risk control, financial modelling, business planning, new legislation, and the efficiency and reliability of reporting processes.

You will also have a good understanding of a broad range of commonly used capital modelling and risk management techniques and broader commercial awareness of the key issues faced by the market. Additionally, experience across our wider offering would be viewed favourably (Catastrophe Risk; Reserving & Pricing; Exposure Management; Deals; IFRS17; Audit) as would a focus on new and emerging areas (e.g. Cyber, Climate, ESG).
