Actuary

An Actuary interprets information and data to assist with financial decision making. You might analyse data from a range of sources and assess the risk to an organisation. Actuaries may work in banking, insurance and other financial industries. You may make predictions and guide the development of policies and strategies.

Actuaries require expert analytical skills and must be able to prepare accurate information. You’ll need to be a good communicator and be able to convey your findings to a range of stakeholders. Actuaries should have strong attention to detail and be able to follow correct procedures. You might work as part of a larger team in this role.
