One purpose, one practice

We are public purpose sector specialists who support governments and their agencies, and not-for-profit organisations, to deliver services to Australians, helping to build more resilient, equitable, secure and prosperous communities. We are guided by our values of Stronger Together, Amplify Impact, Build Trusted Relationships, Value Every Person, Think Beyond Limits, and Defined by Ethics.

Our purpose-driven professionals provide clients with access to the skills, capabilities and expertise to support the delivery of government agendas and public purpose projects, with specialist teams across three national practices:

• Transformation
• Risk, Programs and Cyber

The Role

As a senior associate within our Actuarial team in Sydney, you will specialise in utilising the actuarial skillset to support our public sector clients. This includes supporting government insurers and compensation schemes across the country with pricing, valuation and strategic advice, and working in a broad range of other areas such as climate risk, analytics for the healthcare sector, and social services.  

In this role, you will create value by: 

• Using your actuarial and modelling skillset to support our clients in traditional actuarial applications (e.g. liability valuations, AASB 17 implementation, premium pricing) and non-traditional applications 
• Using mathematical models and statistical techniques to analyse data and forecast uncertain outcomes 
• Presenting findings to managers and clients and explaining complex technical concepts. 
• Develop data visualisation tools and present that information back to clients in reports, visualisations and dashboards  
• Take a business led approach to problems by blending commercial understanding with your actuarial experience and consulting mindset to ensure that the insight we develop can truly be used by our clients to add value to their organisation  
• Managing yourself and others on client engagements to understand the commercial and technical objectives of stakeholders, and translate those into approaches that add value for clients.  
• Fostering a collaborative environment and promoting knowledge sharing. 
• Assisting with pre-sale activities like proposal writing and solution design.
