Reserving and valuation cycle role

You’ll support quarterly reserve production, model validation, reporting, and analytical review while working with Actuarial, Finance, Investments, Product, Risk, and Technology.

Must have

  • Bachelor's degree in actuarial science or related field
  • Minimum of 2 years of progressively responsible actuarial experience

Strongly preferred

  • At least 3 actuarial exams completed
  • Actively pursuing successful completion of actuarial examinations
  • Experience with annuity products, financial reporting, valuation, or related actuarial functions
