Role Summary

Bowtie’s mission is to make insurance good again and our vision is to build a category-defining health insurance company.

We are seeking a Senior Actuarial Associate to actively participate in the implementation of IFRS 17 within our organization. The ideal candidate will assist in developing actuarial models, validating data, and ensuring compliance with the new accounting standard. This role requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Your Key Responsibilities Include:
  1. IFRS 17 Implementation:
    • Actively participating in the design, testing, and validation of actuarial models for IFRS 17 compliance (for both PAA & GMM measurement models).
    • Perform technical analysis and contribute to solution development for reserving, valuation, and reporting processes.
    • Support the integration of IFRS 17 requirements into existing actuarial systems (e.g., Prophet, AXIS, or other valuation tools).
  2. Actuarial Modeling & Analysis:
    • Develop and refine cash flow projections, discounting methodologies, and risk adjustment calculations under IFRS 17.
    • Validate data quality and perform sensitivity testing on key assumptions.
    • Assist in the calculation of Contractual Service Margin (CSM) and liability balances.
  3. Data & Process Improvement:
    • Work closely with IT and data teams to ensure accurate data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) for IFRS 17 reporting.
    • Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and enhance efficiency.
    • Participate in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for actuarial software updates.
  4. Reporting & Documentation:
    • Prepare detailed documentation of methodologies, assumptions, and controls for audit and regulatory purposes.
    • Generate and analyze IFRS 17 financial disclosures for internal and external stakeholders.
    • Assist in drafting reports for senior management and auditors.
  5. Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:
    • Work with finance, accounting, and actuarial teams to align IFRS 17 outputs with financial statements.
    • Support training and knowledge-sharing sessions for junior team members.
    • Stay updated on industry developments and regulatory guidance related to IFRS 17.

About you

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, or a related field.
  • Certifications: Progress toward actuarial qualification (ASA, CAS, or equivalent). IFRS 17-specific training is a plus.
  • Experience:
    • 3-5+ years of actuarial experience in insurance (Life, P&C, or Reinsurance).
    • Exposure to reserving, valuation, or financial reporting under IFRS, US GAAP, or Solvency II.
    • Hands-on experience with actuarial modeling software (e.g., Prophet, AXIS, R, Python, or SQL).
    • Familiarity with data analytics and visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Alteryx) is a plus.
  • Skills:
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
    • Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and compliance.
    • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
    • Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.

And, the following qualifications are preferred but not essential
  • Previous involvement in an IFRS 17 or LDTI implementation project.
  • Knowledge of insurance accounting standards beyond IFRS 17 (e.g., IFRS 9, Solvency II).
