  • Review quarterly and annual reserves and financial entries for Fixed Annuity products
  • Lead validation of modeling enhancements and modifications, ensuring proper controls and processes aligned with MRM and ICFR guidance
  • Direct the development of analytical tools to explain modeled results and drivers of movement
  • Support quantitative analysis of model output and enhance reporting capabilities
  • Lead implementation of regulatory changes
  • Oversee assumption impact analysis and sign off the assumptions for Fixed products
  • Provide support for Fixed reserve audit requests (e.g., Department of Insurance), and interface with auditors, state regulators, and examiners
  • Support new product development and implementation
  • Communicate and present financial results to management with clarity and appropriate depth; develop and recommend strategies to address issues and improve performance
  • Collaborate with colleagues across departments and divisions; build strong relationships and provide actuarial expertise to internal stakeholders and corporate management
  • Lead and develop a team of actuarial professionals by providing guidance, oversight, and mentorship
  • Perform ad-hoc analysis and contribute to special projects as needed


The experience you will bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Actuarial Science, Statistics, or related degree
  • Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) with 5+years of experience
  • Demonstrated initiative and ownership of responsibilities
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills


What will make you stand out:
  • Proficient in actuarial modeling software; experience with Poly Systems and Prophet is a plus
  • working knowledge of fixed annuity valuation
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a team, and to manage long-term projects.
