Responsibilities

• Own the SDI pricing model — run, maintain, and continuously improve the SDI pricing tool, which applies a distinct methodology from the broader risk-based pricing (RBP) suite. Design and implement enhancements to the underlying methodology and develop new functionality to keep the tool at the leading edge of SDI analytics.
• Perform and review complex actuarial analyses for the SDI segment to inform pricing decisions, business strategy, and financial planning — including price adequacy reporting, premium forecasting, and risk transfer analyses.
• Provide actuarial support for the annual SDI reinsurance renewal process, delivering the analyses and insights needed to support renewal negotiations and decisions.
• Contribute to broader Surety projects and analyses — apply your actuarial expertise to a range of initiatives across the Global Surety portfolio beyond SDI, supporting the team’s evolving priorities and the profitability and growth of the business.
• Serve as a trusted actuarial advisor to the SDI underwriting organization — communicating directly and frequently with the SDI Chief Underwriting Officer and underwriting team to support pricing decisions and enhance underwriting capabilities.
• Collaborate with peer analytical teams across Surety and GRS to ensure consistent, high-quality pricing and reporting practices, and to support emerging needs such as early SDI work in international territories.
• Demonstrate influence-based leadership — mentoring and motivating peers and driving alignment across underwriting, analytics, and other stakeholders without direct reporting authority.

Qualifications

• Sound knowledge of actuarial techniques and standards, as well as other business operations including financial, underwriting, legal, statistics, claims, sales, etc.
• Advanced communication and interpersonal skills and ability to build relationships and interact effectively with others within and outside the organization.
• Ability to motivate and mentor peers and motivate and train subordinates.
• Advanced computing skills (MS Office Excel, SAS, etc.) with ability to build complex models.
