About the Role
HUB International's Alternative Risk Solutions practice is hiring a Senior Actuarial Consultant to lead captive advisory, broking, and quantitative risk analysis engagements. This is a senior consulting role with a team leadership dimension, involving ownership of complex analytical deliverables and market-facing activities, mentoring junior analysts, and translating captive economics and risk financing alternatives into strategic guidance for C-suite, risk management, and board audiences.
Responsibilities
- Lead captive feasibility, optimization, and Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) studies across single-parent, group, and cell captive structures, including domicile comparison across onshore and offshore jurisdictions.

- Conduct retention and limits analysis including SIR optimization, attachment point selection, loss distribution fitting, and severity benchmarking to advise on coverage tower design.
- Develop client risk tolerance and risk appetite frameworks using probabilistic modeling techniques to stress-test retention strategies.
- Prepare and review actuarial valuation reports for captive entities in compliance with IFRS 4 and IFRS 17, including reserve adequacy, capital adequacy testing, and loss development analysis across multiple commercial lines.
- Deliver pro-forma financial projections, cash flow modeling, and investment income analysis to support captive program design and long-term risk financing planning.
- Author board-ready reports and feasibility studies, and serve as senior technical resource in client meetings.
- Supervise and mentor junior actuarial analysts; establish peer review and quality standards for analytical deliverables.
- Coordinate cross-functional workstreams with broking, underwriting, claims, and specialty practices to embed actuarial insight into client strategy.
- Contribute to business development through pitch materials, proposals, and scope of work documents.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, or a related quantitative discipline.
- 10+ years of experience in actuarial analysis, quantitative risk consulting, or alternative risk financing, with significant captive insurance exposure.
- Demonstrated expertise in TCOR modeling, retention/limits analysis, reserve analysis, and experience rating across commercial lines.
- Hands-on experience with insurance market submissions, carrier negotiations, and captive fronting/reinsurance placement.
- Strong working knowledge of captive domicile regulations, fronting arrangements, and alternative risk transfer structures.
- Familiarity with onshore and offshore domiciles (e.g., Barbados, Bermuda, Alberta) is an asset.
- Proven ability to develop risk tolerance and risk appetite frameworks and apply probabilistic modeling.
- Valid RIBO licence, or ability to obtain within six months of joining.
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills.
- Proficiency with actuarial software and data visualization tools (VBA/Access an asset).
