Profitability Actuary

Job Description

🧰 Who We Are

Wakam is a B2B2C insurance company that creates white-label insurance solutions via its Play&Plug® technology platform for more than 80 partners. We provide most of our insurance products through APIs and host white-label insurance solutions via our Play&Plug technology platform.

With a footprint spanning 32 countries, Wakam is the European leader in digital and embedded insurance.

Strongly committed to social responsibility, Wakam is a mission-driven company dedicated to “enabling transparent and impactful insurance.”

🚀 About the Team

The Profitability team, within the Technical Department, oversees the performance of insurance products distributed by our partner network. Actuaries conduct actuarial studies, analyze loss ratios, issue alerts in case of profitability deviations, and propose corrective actions to ensure that Wakam’s products align with profitability goals while meeting regulatory standards. They also communicate profitability trends to top management, partners, and cross-functional teams.

🎯 Your Mission

As a Pricing Actuary, you are the technical owner of the partner portfolios in your scope. Your mission is to develop and improve pricing, monitor profitability, and turn analyses into concrete actions—internally and with partners—so that portfolios remain profitable, controlled, and scalable.

🧠 What You Bring

You bring strong actuarial and analytical fundamentals, and the ability to deliver decision-grade work. In particular, you have:

• Solid experience in pricing and portfolio monitoring, with the ability to connect performance signals to actionable levers.
• Strong skills in building and using dashboards, monitoring tools, and ad-hoc analyses to steer profitability.
• The ability to work effectively with Business Development and partner stakeholders, balancing technical accuracy with business constraints.
• Comfort collaborating with Reserving on provisioning-related topics for the portfolios in your scope.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to produce clear, auditable recommendations and present them in governance settings.

✨ Who You Are

You thrive in this role if you are rigorous, structured, and proactive. You like owning topics end-to-end: you investigate, quantify, recommend, and follow through. You are also comfortable challenging assumptions, escalating deviations early, and proposing pragmatic corrective actions that can be implemented.

✨ 🤖 AI & Digital Mindset

At Wakam, pricing and portfolio steering are powered by data and tooling. In this role, you:

• Use digital tools to ensure analyses are reproducible, traceable, and scalable.
• Look for opportunities to automate recurring monitoring and improve data quality and consistency of definitions.
• Are curious about how AI and advanced analytics can help detect drifts, prioritise actions, and enhance technical steering—while maintaining strong governance over assumptions and outputs.

🌟 Why Join Wakam?

This role offers direct impact on portfolio profitability and strong exposure to partner dynamics and internal governance. You will work on concrete, high-stakes decisions, collaborate with multiple teams, and contribute to continuously improving pricing practices, tools, and ways of working in a leading digital and embedded insurer.
