Why Now?

Four reasons why international actuarial contracting through Afrishore Quant could be the smartest move of your early career.

01

International Demand for Actuarial Analysts Is Growing

Market research confirms significant demand for contractors. Insurers across multiple markets are actively seeking analysts with your skill set, creating a genuine opportunity right now.

02

A Long-Term Proposition for the Right Person

Career progression can feel limited for junior analysts in South Africa. International contracting opens new fields, new challenges, and new possibilities, without requiring you to relocate.

03

Your Earning Potential Is Significantly Higher

Contracting with Afrishore Quant offers compensation materially above what you would earn at the equivalent level in South Africa, putting more in your pocket right now.

04

Networks & Experience That Last a Lifetime

Every project connects you with professionals in international actuarial markets. Contacts that can open doors to future permanent roles if and when you want them.

Five Reasons to Consider
Contracting With Us

Significantly Higher Compensation

Earn materially more than the equivalent role in South Africa. We offer contractor rates that reflect the value of your skills in international markets.

Work-Life Balance, On Your Terms

You choose when you are available. Alternate busy periods with downtime. No rigid schedules. You manage your own work-life balance in a way no permanent role can match.

Varied Work Across New Fields

Work across different actuarial disciplines: life insurance, pensions, general insurance, data analytics and more. Build a breadth of experience to inform where you want to specialise.

Build a Network That Opens Doors

Every engagement puts you in contact with actuarial professionals across international markets. Build relationships that could lead to future permanent roles, wherever in the world you want to be.

Experience International Markets First-Hand

Get real, hands-on experience working in actuarial markets beyond South Africa. Understand how they operate, what they value, and whether they are the right long-term fit for you. Whether or not you eventually decide to work abroad permanently, this experience is an asset that will remain with you for the rest of your career.

Your Skills Are Worth More

Actuarial skills are valued differently across markets. International insurers pay significantly more for the work you do.

Rates Above Equivalent SA Roles

Paid Per Project, On Your Terms

You are compensated for the work you do, and you choose how much of it to take on. Work intensively when it suits you, and step back when you need to.

Top Performers Earn a Premium

Clients provide feedback at the end of each engagement. Those who consistently excel attract more placements, better projects, and higher rates over time.

Skill Development & Network Building

Skill Development

Broaden Your Skill Set

Projects span life insurance, general insurance, data analytics and more. Working across different actuarial areas, and on different types of projects within a particular area, helps you decide where your strengths and interests truly lie. This gives you a breadth of experience that is difficult to build inside a single permanent role.

  • Life insurance reserving and pricing
  • General insurance reserving and pricing
  • Data analytics & modelling
  • IFRS17 and regulatory frameworks

Network Building

Build Your International Network

Work on projects ranging from one to 12 months across leading international firms, broadening your international network with each engagement, opening doors to future career opportunities.

  • Direct client relationships
  • Industry contacts & mentors
  • Potential future employers
  • Develop peer groups across multiple disciplines
