Modelling and validation specialist

Closer to a modelling-heavy IC role than capital/risk strategy—the ad emphasizes model assurance and development rather than enterprise risk ownership.

You’ll develop and validate AXIS models across Life, Health, and Annuity products, supporting US GAAP, statutory reserves, IFRS 17, economic capital, and related valuations. The hybrid role requires three office days per week and pays $160,000-$180,000, plus a discretionary 20% bonus target.
