Work collaboratively with valuation, capital, FP&A, risk, and product teams to align modeling approaches and ensure timely delivery of required outputs.
Partner with technology and model infrastructure teams to advance automation, performance optimization, and integration with upstream and downstream systems.
Provide actuarial expertise, direction, and peer review on model assumptions, methodologies, and controls.
Mentor and guide actuarial staff on modeling best practices, coding standards, and actuarial software techniques.
Develop clear, comprehensive, audit-ready documentation and support internal/external audit, model validation, regulators, and rating agency inquiries.
Monitor emerging regulatory, industry, and modeling developments to maintain a forward-looking model strategy.
