Closer to a modelling-heavy individual-contributor role than a people-leadership role because technical ownership and subject-matter expertise matter more than managing a team.

You will own mortality assumptions, develop experience studies and predictive models, and advise product, finance, underwriting, data science, and senior leadership. The role offers a $150,000-$266,000 US base salary range and prefers an FSA or near-FSA with 5+ years of experience.
