In a rare mass recruitment drive, the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) has announced 51 vacancies, offering a lifeline to Kenyan professionals amidst a tightening job market.

The state corporation, tasked with regulating, supervising, and developing the insurance industry, published the advertisement in today’s dailies. The move is seen as a strategic effort to bolster its technical capacity as the sector faces new challenges in digital compliance and fraud detection.

Who They Are Looking For

The vacancies span a wide array of disciplines, signaling a comprehensive restructuring or expansion of the Authority's mandate. From actuaries and risk analysts to legal officers and IT specialists, the IRA is hunting for top-tier talent to steer the industry through the next decade.

• The Deadline: Interested candidates have until Monday, February 16, to submit their applications online.
• The Compliance Check: The IRA has emphasized strict adherence to Chapter Six of the Constitution. Applicants must have clearance from KRA, EACC, HELB, and the CRB—a reminder that integrity is as valued as competence.

A Golden Opportunity

For job seekers, this is more than just employment; it is a chance to shape the policy framework of a multi-billion shilling industry. With the unemployment crisis biting hard, competition for these 51 spots is expected to be fierce. The doors are open—but only the best will walk through.
