The future

We are helping to develop a view of the modern actuary and transform business critical processes, this is beyond the corporate machine. It is work that matters and is making a difference in the profession and radically impacts industry.

Life as a Dynamite

We don’t have a typical ‘Dynamite’ type and having an identikit team is not what we aspire to. However, there are a few things we do have in common:

We value having deep expertise, broad knowledge and rely on our collective expertise to add value to all.
#ClientLove instantly resonates with every one of us in the team, and we each strive to deliver the best possible experience for each client.
We all want to be a part of something disruptive, new and transformational, with ambition to add our knowledge and skills to shape the way.
Working together, is our preferred style of getting things done; we’re a tightly knit team and help each other constantly.
We own our development, the uniqueness of all, means that one persons path and motivations for success, may be very different to the other, we respect difference and support all on their journey.
We have fun! All dynamites genuinely recognise that the best connecting factor between us, is to have fun and laugh together.
Being a close-knit team allows everyone to have a truly meaningful role, we look to ensure all our people, have the opportunity to thrive, learn and grow.
