·  Redefine the accounting and reporting processes to ensure reporting timelines and ambitions can be met after the IFRS17 implementation date by integrating the actuarial valuation activities smoothly into the financial closing

We expect you to work effectively as a team member, coach more junior staff and build good relationships with the client. You will have a great opportunity to expand your actuarial and IFRS 17 expertise and to frequently work together with other service lines.
