**Hiring Manager**:John Fitzpatrick

**Recruiter**:Beth Wood

We have an exciting fixed term contract opportunity for qualified actuary to join the Insurance Risk Team and learn about the different areas of insurance risk including longevity, persistency and expenses.

Who are we?

We want to be the best place that any of our 6,800 colleagues have ever worked.

We’re the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business. We offer our 12 million customers products across our market-leading brands, including Standard Life, SunLife and ReAssure, with c.£259 billion of assets under administration. We’re a FTSE 100 organisation that is tackling key issues such as transitioning our portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we’re not done yet.

The role

The team looks after a number of high profile assumptions which are key to the financial success of Phoenix. So maybe you would like to see first hand how important the longevity assumptions are to the value of one of the largest annuity books in the UK and see how we model the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on mortality rates and longevity risk capital. Or help take a lead in setting the assumptions for our expenses, where you will be keeping up to date with all the projects that Phoenix undertakes so you get an oversight of all parts of our evolving business. Alternatively maybe you want to understand more about our persistency assumptions for new and existing products and what drives customer behaviour.

- Communicate effectively with a technical actuarial audience and simplify communications of technical issues to a non-technical audience.
