Your Role
The Quantitative Risk Lead role supports the design, validation, and ongoing oversight of the risk management framework in relation to capital, for an international specialty insurer operating within the Lloyd’s market. The role plays a key part in ensuring that economic capital models, including Lloyd’s Syndicate Models and Internal Models used to calculate Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR), remain robust, proportionate, and fit for purpose.
You will work across multiple legal entities and functions, contributing to capital model validation, thematic reviews, Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) reporting, and stress and scenario testing. The role provides regular exposure to senior stakeholders, including Executive leadership and Board committees, and supports the evolution of the wider risk framework as the business and external risk environment develop.
What You Will Do
- Lead and deliver validation of economic capital models, including Lloyd’s Syndicate Models and Internal Models, using qualitative and quantitative techniques.
- Design, deliver, and continuously improve stress and scenario testing, including thematic review scenarios.
- Contribute to ORSA reporting across multiple entities, ensuring consistency, quality, and alignment with regulatory and governance expectations.
- Monitor, analyse, and report on risk appetite metrics, including development and maintenance of capital dashboards and management information.
- Review model design, assumptions, limitations, and changes, and support development of testing aligned to evolving risk profiles.
- Provide oversight and challenge across first- and second-line activities, working closely with actuarial, capital modelling, and risk teams.
- Prepare and present clear, proportionate outputs to Executive committees and Board-level governance forums.
What We Are Looking For
- Background in quantitative risk, model validation, or actuarial roles within insurance or the Lloyd’s market, with strong understanding of economic capital, SCR frameworks, and Lloyd’s Syndicate Models.
- Experience working with both qualitative and quantitative validation techniques. Preferably with experience of designing and implementing validation testing.
- Experience supporting ORSA processes, risk appetite frameworks, monitoring, reporting, and dashboard development.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging actuarial teams, first- and second-line functions, external partners, and senior stakeholders, including Executive and Board-level audiences.
- Have a strong understanding of regulatory requirements, as well as ability to implement requirements as required.
- People management experience or evidence of informal leadership, mentoring, or oversight of work delivered by others.
- Strong analytical judgement, with a pragmatic approach to balancing technical rigour, proportionality, and continuous improvement.
