Non Life Actuary Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Akur8 is a fast-growing InsurTech scale-up on a mission to redefine insurance pricing and reserving through transparent, high-performance modeling technology.

With the launch of Akur8 Life, we are bringing that same mission to the Life Insurance market, delivering purpose-built solutions for the unique complexity of life, health, and protection risk.

Our SaaS platform uses transparent machine learning and predictive analytics to improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of actuarial pricing and reserving, addressing the long-term liability horizons, mortality and morbidity modelling challenges, and evolving regulatory expectations that define the Life Insurance landscape.

Built by experienced actuarial, product, and R&D teams, Akur8's proprietary algorithms enable insurers to generate insights up to 10x faster than traditional methods, while maintaining full explainability and the regulatory confidence that frameworks such as Solvency II and IFRS 17 demand.

As our platform expands into Life Insurance, we provide next-generation reserving and pricing capabilities, supporting an end-to-end approach to risk assessment across the full product lifecycle, from term and whole life to annuities and health covers.
