About Everest:
Everest is a global leader in risk management, rooted in a rich, 50+ year heritage of enabling businesses to survive and thrive, and economies to function and flourish. We are underwriters of risk, growth, progress and opportunity. We are a global team focused on disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation for all stakeholders, who care deeply about our impact on communities and the wider world.

About the Role:

You’ll be part of the International Actuarial Team, where you’ll support pricing, portfolio management, reserving, and capital across a wide range of international operations, regions, and lines. Your role will be highly commercial and deeply embedded within the business, involving daily collaboration with underwriting teams, fellow actuarial professionals, and senior stakeholders. You’ll focus heavily on pricing local business, and your position will be based in either Australia or Singapore.

In this role, you’ll serve as the senior actuarial business partner for the APAC region, collaborating closely with regional leadership—including the Head of APAC, country managers, and underwriters. Your focus will be on enhancing the technical expertise and business partnering already provided by the International actuarial teams, ensuring that local business is analyzed to global standards while effectively incorporating local nuances.

In the short term, you’ll play a key role in supporting international product pricing teams by executing local pricing initiatives. This senior regional actuarial position marks a pivotal step in Everest Insurance International’s expansion. As the business grows, your responsibilities will evolve, and you’ll help shape and build out more localized actuarial teams across the region.

You’ll be based in either Sydney or Singapore, working on a hybrid schedule (3 days in the office, 2 days remote).

Reserving & Capital

• You’ll provide insights on APAC pricing and business issues to support the reserving position developed by the International Reserving team, including the Chief Reserving Actuary and Head of Actuarial Function.

• You’ll communicate the connection between pricing, reserving, and P&Ls to local leadership.

• You’ll contribute to capital insights for local legal entities in collaboration with the International Capital team.

Line Management

• You’ll manage a small team dedicated to supporting local business.

Qualifications:

• You hold a bachelor’s degree in actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, or a related field. 

• You are a qualified actuary (preferred). 

• You bring substantial experience in actuarial work, particularly with a strong focus on pricing expertise.

• You possess robust technical, analytical, and IT skills.
