Description du poste:

Lead Our Actuarial Future: Chief Actuary (Head of Actuarial Function PCF 48) - AXA Insurance DAC If you're a purpose-driven leader with the expertise and passion to drive actuarial excellence and shape our customer-first future, we invite you to apply. We're seeking a commercially minded actuarial leader to take on the role of Head of Actuarial Function (PCF48) - a pivotal position at the heart of business strategy, financial performance, and regulatory oversight. Reporting directly to our Chief Financial Officer, you will bring independent actuarial judgement to the decisions that shape the business. This is not just a technical leadership role - it's an opportunity to directly influence underwriting strategy, capital allocation, portfolio performance, and long-term growth, while ensuring robust governance and regulatory confidence. You'll lead the actuarial function with a clear focus on driving insight-led decisions across the organisation - balancing commercial ambition with risk, capital, and customer outcomes. From advising the Board on reserving strength and capital strategy, to shaping reinsurance, investment decisions and portfolio management, your impact will be felt across every key lever of the business. At the same time, you will fulfil the responsibilities of PCF48, operating as a key function holder under the Central Bank of Ireland framework. You'll ensure the integrity of technical provisions, the strength of actuarial models and reporting, and lead engagement with regulators - bringing credibility, independence and challenge at the highest levels. As a pivotal senior leader, you will embed a customer-centric approach, leveraging data and insights to simplify services, enhance customer outcomes, and ensure customer interests are at the heart of every decision. This role requires a leader who is as comfortable in the boardroom as they are in technical debate - someone who can translate complex actuarial insight into clear, commercially relevant decisions, and who can influence senior stakeholders with confidence. You'll also build and lead a high-performing team, creating an environment of strong governance, collaboration and continuous improvement. What We're Looking For: We're looking for a qualified actuary with significant (10+yrs) actuarial leadership experience including at least 5 years leading reserving teams in insurance or financial services, with deep expertise in reserving, capital and financial reporting (Solvency II / IFRS). You'll bring a proven ability to operate at Executive level, engage effectively with regulators, and balance commercial objectives with regulatory and customer considerations. Deep expertise in financial reporting (MCEV, IFRS, Solvency II) and a comprehensive understanding of legislative and regulatory requirements. Proven ability to develop and execute complex business strategies, coupled with exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Customer First orientated and adept at leveraging customer data & insights to meet customer needs. A strategic, commercially astute leader who thrives on challenging the status quo and driving data-led innovation. Strong leadership experience with demonstrable skills in inspiring business buy in to strategy, leadership, management, capability development and collaboration in order to drive strategic goals. This is a rare opportunity to take on a highly visible, high-impact leadership role, shaping both the financial strength and strategic direction of AXA's Irish business
