Solvency ii Jobs
from the Solvency ii Association
It is going to be a busy period for
everybody, starting from the supervisors.
If you google
"solvency ii jobs", you will be very surprised.
There are many 6
figure jobs (permanent jobs) and great contracts that pay
700-100 GBP per day.
Surprise, surprise... There are several jobs outside
the EU, in countries that have decided to become Solvency ii
equivalent, or international groups and insurance/ mixed holding
companies.
Question: What is common
in the following job openings?
A. Finance Director
120,000-160,000 + bonus + bens, Copenhagen Denmark
B. Managing
Consultant – Regulatory Strategy, Risk & Compliance £90k London,
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
C. Senior Manager - Advisory $160k
tax free Dubai, UAE
D. IT Project Consultant £100,000 London,
Manchester & Edinburgh, UKs.
Answer: The above jobs require understanding of the Solvency
ii directive and framework
According to CEIOPS (Report on
the Preparedness of Insurance Supervisors to implement Solvency
II, June 2010), one of the main challenges for supervisors relates
to the development of appropriate staff (number/type/competences),
with an expected increased number of staff of 20% by the date of
entry into force of Solvency II (December 2012).
Most
countries however have indicated difficulties in recruiting staff
with Solvency II knowledge, due to competition in the market, as
the industry can offer better remuneration packages to recruit
skilled staff.
According to CEIOPS, work on the
implementation of Solvency II is an unprecedented complex and
challenging process in the area of insurance supervision: It is a
long process that, started well in advance of the adoption of the
Solvency II Proposal in July 2007, is proceeding at an increasing
pace, involving a change in mentality, competences, covering all
the different areas/sectors of the supervisory authorities,
demanding resources and often implying reorganisation.
Have you visited totaljobs.com, londoncareers.net,
jobs.trovit.co.uk, itjobswatch and other similar sites? In the
middle of the market crisis there are many Solvency ii jobs, and
very few Solvency ii professionals... and the average maximum
salary or fee is great.
