Candidates must have over 6 years of actuarial experience, with a background in a valuation function, and a Bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, finance, economics, data science, or a related field. A Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) designation is required, along with significant experience with actuarial modeling systems like Prophet.

The Senior Actuary will support the GAAP Director in managing quarter-end deliverables by tracking tasks, delegating, and resolving issues using Azure Dev Ops. Responsibilities include leading efforts to resolve valuation run issues, performing quarterly calculations of GAAP balances for life insurance products, and developing new solutions for ad-hoc and sensitivity analyses. The role requires serving as a subject matter expert on GAAP impacts on life insurance products, performing analysis to educate senior management on GAAP expectations, and fostering team member development through coaching and feedback. Ensuring compliance with internal and regulatory governance standards by testing valuation models and developing documentation is also key. Additionally, the Senior Actuary will identify opportunities to improve GAAP metrics and analytics, support industry-wide GAAP working group projects, and assist with ad-hoc projects as needed.
