Actuarial Manager

About StrinGaze StrinGaze provides a next-generation modern actuarial platform to life insurers across the Asia-Pacific region. The platform is purpose-built for high-performance pricing, valuation, IFRS17 reporting, financial planning & analysis, enabling major actuarial functions in the same engine. We serve insurers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Korea, with a particular focus on organisations for which model runtime and change control have become material constraints on the actuarial function. About the Role The Actuarial Manager, Service is a client-facing role responsible for leading platform implementations at insurer clients across the Asia-Pacific region. Responsibilities encompass the full delivery lifecycle: scoping proofs of concept, rebuilding clients' existing actuarial models on the StrinGaze engine, demonstrating numerical parity, and transitioning completed models to client actuarial teams. The role additionally serves as the actuarial interface to product development, with field-identified requirements informing the platform roadmap. The successful candidate will report to senior management and work closely with presales, engineering, and client-side actuarial leadership. Key Responsibilities Lead client implementations end to end, covering requirements definition, model construction, validation, handover, and post-implementation support. Rebuild clients' existing actuarial models on the StrinGaze engine, establishing numerical parity and documenting all methodological differences. Develop pricing and valuation models across IFRS 17 measurement models (GMM, VFA, PAA), Embedded Value, and applicable local statutory bases. Define, execute, and present proofs of concept, including establishment of success criteria, benchmark execution, and presentation of results to client senior actuaries. Investigate and resolve reconciliation differences against client baseline results. Deliver stochastic modelling workstreams, including participating fund projections, TVOG calculation, and economic scenario generator integration. Translate recurring client requirements into platform enhancement proposals and support engineering through to delivery. Support the presales function on technical solutioning, client workshops, and RFP responses.

Demonstrated hands-on depth in an established actuarial modelling platform, including familiarity with model structure and underlying code. Programming proficiency in Python, R, or a comparable language, together with the capacity to acquire additional languages. The platform is code-first and daily development work is required.
