About the role

DUAL is looking for a part-qualified actuary to join our Sydney team. In this role, you’ll sit at the centre of action, providing reserving and pricing support to our underwriting teams across Australia and New Zealand spanning Financial Lines, Cyber, Accident & Health, Property and Motor portfolios.

You’ll also play a key role in helping deliver broader DUAL Group objectives through quarterly reporting, portfolio analysis and close collaboration with underwriting, data and group functions.

Role responsibilities

• Produce quarterly reserving projections using ResQ reserving software.
• Support the transition of Property and Motor reserving processes to align with other product lines as part of a broader data consolidation initiative.
• Maintain, review, and improve actuarial reporting dashboards.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders to consolidate APAC results for reporting to the wider DUAL Group.
• Develop an understanding of existing technical pricing models and underlying methodologies.
• Work with the in-house development team to ensure pricing models within the IMS system are appropriately calibrated and that consistent data and parameters can be extracted for analysis and recalibration.
• Support the ongoing development, maintenance, and cyclical validation of rating tools and pricing capabilities across all classes of business, including model documentation.
• Partner with underwriting teams to provide ad-hoc pricing support and individual risk pricing using sound actuarial techniques.
• Build strong working relationships with underwriting teams to promote understanding and adoption of technical pricing concepts and tools.
• Collaborate with the Data & Analytics team to enhance portfolio management reporting and generate new insights using IMS data.
• Assist in the preparation of premium rate adequacy analysis and rate change reporting.

About you

You’re an analytically minded actuary who enjoys turning sophisticated data into clear, practical insights, and you’re keen to keep growing your craft in a supportive environment. You’ll bring 3–5 years’ actuarial experience and be working toward Fellowship, with exposure to actuarial principles across reserving and/or pricing.

You’re naturally proactive and organised, able to prioritise competing deadlines and manage your workload confidently. You’ll thrive here if you like solving problems, asking great questions, and using critical thinking to diagnose issues and improve outcomes.

Just as importantly, you’re a clear communicator, comfortable translating technical concepts for different audiences and you enjoy partnering across teams to deliver shared goals. You’ll bring a high level of integrity and accountability, and you’ll contribute to a collaborative, respectful team culture where diverse perspectives are welcomed and valued.

On the technical side, experience with tools such as SQL, VBA, R or Python will set you up for success. Familiarity with ResQ and/or Power BI is a bonus, but not essential, we’re open to candidates who are keen to learn.
