At MPS we have a vision to cultivate a culture of risk and capital awareness across the organisation. We believe that decision-making should be driven by capital considerations, maximising the value of the capital model outputs. By joining us, you will play a crucial role in informing business decisions, ensuring they are economically sound and in the best interest of our members.

So, if you are someone who connects with our values, embraces change and is hungry to get involved and make a difference, apply now to join our growing team!

In this role you will:

• Deliver the annual capital assessment for MPS discretionary business. This will include delivering reports and explaining results, performing model validation and continuing to develop and enhance the capital model.
• Provide capital estimates and insights to support decision-making by interacting across MPS. This will include working with underwriters, pricing and reserving, financial planning, risk management, claims and reinsurance.
• Provide support as required on capital modelling business and be a company expert on all matters related to capital modelling.
• Provide technical leadership in capital modelling, identifying learning opportunities and supporting up-skilling that enhances departmental resilience.
• Ensure appropriate controls are performed and documented to manage the risk within the capital modelling process.
