About the role

Are you curious to understand how technology can support the core business at one of the world’s leading reinsurers?

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our SPIRE IT team which is responsible for ensuring that our in-house application for reserving analysis and estimation (SPIRE) is effectively supporting our global actuarial community in their quarterly closing routine.

Your key responsibilities

- Support reserving processes: Prepare the system for quarterly runs, perform reconciliations, and ensure accurate reporting.
- Own quality and clarity: Maintain up-to-date documentation and deliver ad-hoc analysis when needed.
- Engage with users worldwide: Act as a trusted partner for our international actuarial community.
- Lead small enhancements / new features: From requirement gathering and user story writing to working with developers and testing features (including supporting user testing).
- Collaborate across IT and business: Work closely with engineers to identify improvements that make the system more robust, scalable, and user-friendly.
