As consultants, it is not enough to have the technical skillset. The ability to communicate complex concepts to audiences from a variety of backgrounds is fundamental. We deal with actuaries, accountants, senior executives and other Board members.
Each audience has different needs and knowledge and so we need to tailor our communications to suit. We are looking for candidates that are excellent in their field and can apply their skillsets to work with clients to support them in their strategy and objectives.
As a project-based business, no two days are the same. You will be involved in regular project meetings which will help you to understand the overall project and where your work fits in as well as providing a space for you to report your progress and raise issues.
Being able to communicate your technical work to others who may not be familiar or involved is the key foundation for every actuarial consultant. Our work requires us to work closely with our other offices throughout Europe and around the world.
