ABOUT THE ROLE

As the AVP & Actuary, you will lead all actuarial functions for a rapidly growing insurance company.

You’ll drive continuous improvement in pricing and reserving processes while applying innovative approaches to traditional actuarial challenges.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead and grow a team of actuarial analysts to support Orion180’s business.
• Execute quarterly and annual reserving process, including interaction with leaders across Orion180, external actuaries and auditors, and preparing reports and presentations for senior leadership.
• Lead all pricing work for the company—existing admitted and non-admitted products as well as new state and product expansion. Refine quarterly rate adequacy reviews for both non-catastrophe and catastrophe exposures.
• Work closely with Enterprise Risk Management and Data Science on catastrophe modeling and interpretation as well as pricing model building and development.
• Assist in providing information and analysis to key external stakeholders (investors, reinsurers, auditors).
• Lead strategy in the design and development of next-generation insurance products and internal modeling.
• Build a strategic roadmap for enhancements to actuarial discipline and practice.
• Implement new pricing and reserving tools and look to implement AI-based improvements to actuarial processes.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience in similar work. ACAS or FCAS is required for this position.
• Industry Experience: 5+ years of actuarial experience necessary. Experience working closely with business units and P&L management (rather than in a corporate role) would be highly preferred.
• Management Experience: 2+ years of experience managing teams and projects. Proven positive leadership experience with the ability to mentor and manage performance.
• Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with next-gen actuarial reserving and pricing tools (e.g., Akur8, ResQ, etc.) and experience in implementation preferred.
• Communication Skills: Strong interpersonal, collaborative, and presentation skills with the ability to communicate effectively, both written and verbal. A track record of executive-level communication and ‘storytelling’ is highly preferred.
• Entrepreneurial Drive / Intellectual Curiosity: Proven ability to achieve ambitious goals in an innovative and demanding environment. Ability to look at standard actuarial challenges in novel ways.
• Strategic Thinking: Excellent organizational and analytical skills, with the ability to develop strategies informed by research, data, and industry trends.
