Who we are
Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.
Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.
Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.
With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.
Your Role
Apollo is seeking a Graduate Actuarial Analyst to join the ibott Pricing team. In this role you will contribute to actuarial analysis that informs underwriting and portfolio decisions across a diverse range of risks within the Lloyd’s market. The position offers the opportunity to build strong analytical and technical foundations while gaining practical exposure to pricing work within a collaborative actuarial environment.
About ibott
Since 2014, ibott has established itself as a recognised leader in underwriting innovative companies operating in the sharing economy and future of transportation. The team combines long term strategic partnerships with a data driven underwriting approach, enabling tailored risk transfer solutions and genuine collaboration with clients.
What You’ll Do
You will support pricing analysis that informs underwriting and portfolio management decisions, including reviewing exposure and claims data and assisting with the development and maintenance of pricing models and analytical tools.
Working closely with Actuarial, Data Science, Claims and Underwriter colleagues, you will help translate data into clear insights that support decision making. You will also contribute to the ongoing development of pricing processes and analytical capability within the team while gaining exposure to coding and data tools used within the actuarial function.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone with a strong academic background in a quantitative discipline, such as Mathematics, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Physics, Economics, Engineering or Computer Science, or a similar numerically focused subject. You will demonstrate strong analytical thinking and an interest in working with data to explore patterns and trends that support underwriting decisions.
You will be comfortable communicating ideas clearly and working collaboratively with colleagues across actuarial and underwriting teams. Exposure to coding or programming, through academic study, projects, or internships, would be beneficial.
We are seeking applicants with an interest in developing a career in actuarial science and working towards professional qualification with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA). Exposure to professional environments through internships, placements, or other work experience would be advantageous, particularly within insurance, pensions, or financial services.
What you’ll get in return
We offer a competitive and thoughtfully designed reward package that reflects the value of our people. This includes a fair and attractive salary, discretionary bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package - including 31 days’ annual leave, a non-contributory pension and private medical insurance.
