- You will be a qualified or partially qualified actuary and have a degree-level qualification;
- Proven math and analytical skills, as normally acquired through the pursuit of a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Actuarial Science, Engineering, Computer Science or any other quantitative degree;

What We Look For
