General insurance – Actuarial Strategy and Development Working Party – members

Application closing date: 12 January

The IFoA is seeking to appoint five experienced, proactive and innovative volunteers to join the new Actuarial Strategy and Development Working Party. The group welcomes applications from suitably qualified non-members.

This working party is looking to appoint volunteers working across a variety of actuarial disciplines to:

  • help understand the strategic roles of the actuarial skill set within organisations
  • identify common challenges faced by actuarial teams

The working party will be looking to understand the impact of new or advancing technology such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and the use of advanced analytics on actuarial teams and their ways of working. The group will consider the current state of a typical actuarial career path, its recent and future trajectory.

Outputs volunteers will be producing may include:

  • a framework for strategic thinking to include new or advancing technologies, maximise commercial relevance, and integrate actuarial expertise within insurers
  • a summary of different operating models for actuarial teams within organisations
  • strategies for developing teams and extending the actuary’s role into other areas of an organisation
  • strategies for supporting the evolving actuarial career path through to Chief Actuary

Time commitment

The time commitment varies but will not be more than a maximum of 2 hours per month. The working group will consist of quarterly meetings with more regular meeting scheduled as required.
