Solutions Manager

IGA are partnering with a highly entrepreneurial global investment group to hire into their growing Insurance Solutions team based in Riyadh. This is a rare opportunity for an actuarial professional to move beyond the traditional insurance environment and into a genuinely commercial, buy-side role focused on capital optimisation, investment structuring and institutional investor solutions across emerging markets.

Would you be open to exploring an opportunity with a leading emerging markets investment platform, where actuarial expertise sits at the centre of investment strategy, portfolio construction and insurance capital solutions? Are you looking to apply your technical skillset in a more strategic, front-office aligned environment with direct exposure to investors, structuring and global markets?

Our client is a globally recognised investment group specialising in emerging markets private credit, trade finance and special situations investing. With deep expertise across Africa, the Middle East and other growth markets, the firm combines institutional investment discipline with local market knowledge to deliver differentiated investment opportunities for global investors.

As part of the continued growth of their Insurance Solutions platform, they are looking to hire a qualified or near-qualified actuary into a highly visible role supporting insurance-sector investors, capital structuring and portfolio optimisation initiatives. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of actuarial science, investment management and strategic capital advisory — within a dynamic and internationally focused environment.

In this role, you will:

• Take ownership of risk-based capital and regulatory capital modelling across insurance-backed investment strategies
• Support asset-liability management (ALM) analysis, including duration matching, liquidity considerations and balance-sheet optimisation
• Partner closely with investment, structuring and risk teams to assess capital efficiency and portfolio suitability for insurer and reinsurer investors
• Contribute to investor engagement and marketing discussions with insurance-sector LPs, acting as a technical subject-matter expert on capital and regulatory considerations
• Support the development of innovative insurance-focused investment structures across private credit and broader alternative investment strategies
• Play a key role in stress testing, scenario analysis and portfolio oversight, helping shape investment decisions through a capital and solvency lens

What we’re looking for:

• A qualified or near-qualified actuary (IFoA, SOA or equivalent)
• Experience with in insurance, reinsurance, actuarial consulting or insurance-focused asset management environments
• Strong technical expertise in risk-based capital modelling, economic capital or regulatory capital frameworks
• A solid understanding of insurance asset-liability management principles and balance-sheet dynamics
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with exposure to Excel and ideally Python, R or VBA
• An individual who wants to apply actuarial expertise in a broader commercial and investment-led environment
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both investors and non-actuarial stakeholders

What makes this unique:

• A genuinely buy-side actuarial opportunity with direct exposure to investment strategy and portfolio construction
• The chance to move beyond traditional pricing and reserving work into a more commercial, strategic role
• Exposure to global emerging markets and complex investment structures within a highly entrepreneurial environment
• Close interaction with front-office investment professionals, institutional investors and senior leadership
• A platform that combines technical excellence with international growth and long-term strategic ambition
