Our senior team has a track record of successful starting and growing companies in the Analytics space. Our expertise, network and culture are driving our young company forward into this phase of growth.
You will work in a team driven culture. We surround our team with interesting challenges, innovative minds and emerging technologies. We have a passion for building solutions and creative products to solve the most complex and interesting business problems.

What we’re looking for
We are seeking a junior actuarial analyst or recent actuarial graduate who is keen to develop their skills in non-traditional areas. As an Actuarial Analyst, you will work together with a great team to create engaging analytic tools and deliver great insights for our customers and internal teams.
You will be working with senior actuaries to help our superannuation fund customers with their data and regulatory needs. You will assist in the development and maintenance of actuarial models, and prepare reports and presentations summarizing findings and recommendations.
You will model data within databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS, PostgreSQL using languages like SQL and Python.
You will be working with complex datasets, identifying patterns and trends, and surfacing results to relevant stakeholders using BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI.
You will work with a range of technologies hosted with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
You are super smart, adaptable, understand how the superannuation and technology landscape is changing, and have always wanted to work in a culture that provides the freedom to innovate and challenge the status quo. You are open to working onsite, remote, hybrid, or looking to move to Australia one day.

- Understanding of the Australian superannuation landscape and regulations

- Exposure to advanced analytics applications, with the ability to program in Python and/or R
Do not worry if you do not have experience across all these areas. We value your ability to learn and absorb new information.
Personal attributes:
- Excellent communication and presentation skills with an ability to present technical solutions concisely to a range of client stakeholders
- Demonstrated passion for diving into technical issues and solving customer problems
- Demonstrated critical thinking (scientific method) and advanced self-troubleshooting skills and qualities
- Well organised, proactive and collaborative
- Strong task/deliverable management skills, able to work on multiple tasks/deliverables simultaneously and report to your project teams on progression against tasks
Ideally you will have a relevant quantitative Bachelor degree and experience working with complex data sets within an insights driven organisation.

Now is the time for the freedom to shine, the freedom to innovate, with the support of like-minded individuals that are thoughtful, humble and super smart.
