About QBE
At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.
We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.
What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.
The opportunity
We’re looking for a dynamic actuarial professional ready to take their career to the next level. In this role, you’ll be responsible for pricing and portfolio management activities across the reinsurance portfolio underwritten from our Dublin office, supporting key underwriting and strategic decisions within QBE RE.
This is a broad, commercially focused role where you’ll work across pricing, portfolio management, renewals, reserving and technical analysis — with real exposure to senior stakeholders and business-critical decisions.
What sets this opportunity apart? You’ll also have the chance to travel 1–4 times a year, building relationships with colleagues and clients across the global QBE RE network and contributing to the success of our international reinsurance business.
Your new role
Reporting to the Technical Underwriting Manager, you’ll work closely with underwriters, brokers, actuarial and reserving teams. You’ll play a key role in supporting the pricing and management of the portfolio, providing insight that drives profitability, performance and strategic growth.
You’ll also contribute to wider QBE RE initiatives and projects, collaborating with colleagues across our global offices.
Main responsibilities:
- Prepare reports and data to support pricing reviews and portfolio analysis
- Develop strong relationships with internal stakeholders including underwriting and reserving
- Recommend and implement changes to actuarial assumptions and pricing models
- Apply appropriate actuarial techniques and models to support business decisions
- Develop and enhance reporting and analytical tools to deliver business insight
- Identify trends across portfolio performance, valuation and data analysis
- Use and link data sources to support performance measurement
- Provide technical guidance and support to less experienced actuarial colleagues
- Ensure accuracy and integrity of data through robust checks and controls
- Maintain strong stakeholder relationships across the business
About you
You have a strong interest in data, analytics and reinsurance pricing. You’re curious, detail‑driven and enjoy working collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment.
Skills you’ll need:
- Good experience in a pricing actuarial role within insurance or reinsurance
- Analytical skills and confidence working with large data sets
- Excellent Excel skills, with the ability to identify trends and summarise insight
- Experience in a programming language (Python, VBA, R…) is advantageous
- A proactive, collaborative mindset with a desire to learn and develop
- Problem‑solving and communication skills
