What does an actuary actually do, and why is the actuarial function so central to a modern insurer? This 20-slide deck, built by a practicing actuary, gives a complete, visual tour of the actuarial role across an insurance company. It is ideal for onboarding new joiners, educating non-actuarial stakeholders, supporting recruitment, and giving anyone a clear mental model of how the profession creates value.
The deck follows the actuarial value chain and the core domains where actuaries make a difference. It covers pricing and product design, reserving and technical provisions, capital and solvency, risk management and the ORSA, reinsurance, asset-liability management, and financial reporting. Each area is explained in plain language, with the key methods and outputs highlighted, so a reader without a technical background can still understand what the work involves and why it matters.
It also covers the foundations that underpin everything actuaries do, including assumption-setting and governance, data and technology, professional standards, and the control-cycle mindset that runs through actuarial practice. The deck distinguishes the distinct flavours of life, non-life (general), and health practice, and presents a view of the actuarial operating model that shows how the function connects to underwriting, finance, risk, and the wider business.
The closing sections turn to the human and forward-looking side of the profession. They set out the typical career paths and qualification journey, and look at how the role is evolving with data science, automation, and an expanding regulatory agenda, so readers understand not just what actuaries do today but where the profession is heading.
Designed for students and new joiners, HR and recruitment teams, non-actuarial stakeholders such as underwriters, finance staff, and executives who work alongside actuaries, and anyone who needs to explain the profession clearly, this is a fully editable 16:9 PowerPoint in a clean, professional consulting style. Adapt it for induction, internal training, or presentations without building from scratch.
