I&rsquo;m a senior principal consultant on the actuarial team in London. I specialise in actuarial and data science focusing primarily on personal and commercial lines, supporting the London and Lloyd&rsquo;s market.
I work with a range of clients from small start-ups to some of the largest insurers in the UK. I also additionally support clients within the insurtech space.
Some key areas of my role include understanding my candidates' next career steps and meshing them with a role and organisation suited for their skill set. Taking a consultative approach to my work, I provide both my candidates and clients with market updates including the supply of talent, salary benchmarking and motivations for movements in the market.
Going that extra mile is what I enjoy. I take pride in my work in supporting businesses and my candidates' next career steps, but I&rsquo;m also invested in building strong relationships outside of just a transactional approach and delivering a service that can add further support.​
What does being an opportunity maker mean to you? Adding value outside of the &ldquo;transactional&rdquo; side of the job. Whether that&rsquo;s speaking to a candidate who&rsquo;s not looking to move about, salary benchmarking, or helping other people at Eames.
