Senior Consultant – Actuarial Services, Financial Services Advisory

Are you an actuary with a couple of years of experience looking to broaden your career beyond a traditional actuarial role? Would you like to work across insurance, audit and advisory, helping some of the largest financial institutions solve complex actuarial and business challenges?

Then you might be our new colleague in KPMG’s Financial Services Advisory team in Copenhagen.

The opportunity

We are looking for an ambitious actuary with approximately 2 years of relevant professional experience to strengthen our actuarial capabilities within Financial Services Advisory.

You will join a multidisciplinary team working with insurance companies and other financial institutions. Your assignments will vary from supporting our audit teams on actuarial matters to advising clients directly on actuarial, risk, regulatory and transformation topics.

The role provides a strong opportunity to combine your actuarial expertise with broader business and advisory experience and to develop your career in an environment where you will work closely with experienced colleagues, clients and specialists across KPMG.

What you will be doing

Depending on your experience and interests, your work may include:

• Performing actuarial analyses of insurance liabilities and technical provisions.
• Supporting the audit of insurance companies, including review and challenge of actuarial assumptions, methodologies, models and calculations.
• Working with Solvency II, financial reporting and other regulatory requirements relevant to insurers.
• Reviewing and challenging reserving methodologies, models, assumptions and data.
• Supporting actuarial modelling, validation and quantitative analyses.
• Advising insurance clients on improvements to their actuarial processes, governance, controls and documentation.
• Contributing to projects at the intersection of actuarial science, risk management, regulation, data and technology.
• Working directly with clients and gradually taking responsibility for your own workstreams and deliverables.
• Collaborating with colleagues across KPMG in Denmark and our international network.

The aim is not only for you to apply your actuarial skills, but also to develop into a trusted adviser who understands both the numbers and the business behind them.

Who we are looking for

We expect that you:

• Hold a relevant quantitative degree, ideally within actuarial mathematics, insurance mathematics or a closely related field.
• Have approximately 2 years of relevant experience, for example from an insurance company, consultancy or audit firm.
• Have practical experience with actuarial calculations, models or insurance liabilities.
• Have a strong analytical mindset and enjoy working with complex quantitative topics.
• Are interested in understanding the commercial, regulatory and strategic context surrounding actuarial work.
• Communicate clearly and are comfortable discussing your analyses with both specialists and non-specialists.
• Enjoy working collaboratively and taking responsibility.
• Are fluent in English. Danish or another Nordic language is an advantage.

Experience within life insurance, non-life insurance, pensions, reserving, Solvency II or actuarial audit would be particularly relevant, but we do not expect you to be an expert in all areas.

What we offer

At KPMG, you will have the opportunity to build a career that extends beyond a traditional actuarial role.

You will become part of Financial Services Advisory, where we bring together expertise across insurance, banking, risk, regulation, data, technology and transformation. You will work alongside experienced specialists while being given responsibility early in your career.

We offer:

• A steep learning curve and exposure to different insurance companies and business models.
• The opportunity to combine actuarial expertise with advisory and business skills.
• Direct interaction with clients and senior colleagues.
• Access to KPMG's Danish and international actuarial and financial-services network.
• Opportunities to work on projects beyond traditional actuarial assignments.
• A collaborative and informal environment with strong focus on professional and personal development.

Most importantly, we offer the opportunity to help shape and grow our actuarial capability in Financial Services Advisory.
