Career ambassador: UK

Application closing date: 8 September

Inspire the next generation of actuaries

Are you passionate about reaching the next generation of actuaries? If so, we’d like to hear from you. The IFoA is looking for members at all levels to promote the actuarial career to bright young people in the UK.

As a career ambassador, you will raise the profile of the actuarial profession in schools, universities, and within your local community through a range of talks and careers fairs. You will also have the opportunity to reach a diverse range of students through a number of different digital activities such as case studies, blogs, and much more.

You are encouraged to pro-actively set-up your own events and opportunities. We will provide you with the relevant resources you need to promote the profession, including brochures and presentations.

As part of this role, you will need to easily explain what an actuary is to those who may never have heard about the profession before. You will need to be confident, engaging, and have a good understanding of the role of the IFoA.
