• Apply advanced actuarial techniques, statistical methods, and modeling to forecast and clearly communicate the business impact of pricing, underwriting, and product changes to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Extract, manipulate, and analyze large datasets using SQL and Python to support pricing, reserving, and risk modeling initiatives for homeowners insurance.
• Own and manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, maintaining organized project plans, timelines, and documentation to keep stakeholders informed and deliverables on track.

• Strong business acumen with the ability to translate complex actuarial analyses into actionable business recommendations; comfortable influencing decisions across all levels of the organization.
• Solid foundational knowledge of homeowners insurance products and pricing.
• Experience with predictive modeling and advanced analytics techniques, including machine learning.
• Excellent communication skills to convey complex actuarial concepts to non‑actuarial stakeholders.
• Exceptional organizational skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain structured workflows, and consistently meet deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.

Required Education And Experience

• Bachelor's degree in mathematics, actuarial science, statistics, or a related quantitative field.
• Minimum of four years of experience in property and casualty insurance, with a focus on personal lines insurance.
• Strong proficiency in actuarial and data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, SQL, Python).
• Experience with regulatory filings and interacting with state insurance departments.

Preferred Requirements

• Prior experience working with homeowners insurance products.
• Familiarity with regulatory filing processes, including experience interacting with state regulators.
• ACAS or near‑ACAS certification.
• Experience with cat modeling and using the outputs of cat models in pricing.
