Job Description

About Acrisure

A global fintech leader, Acrisure empowers millions of ambitious businesses and individuals with the right solutions to grow boldly forward. Bringing cutting‑edge technology and top‑tier human support together, we connect clients with customized solutions across a range of insurance, reinsurance, payroll, benefits, cybersecurity, mortgage services – and more.

In the last twelve years, Acrisure has grown in revenue from $38 million to almost $5 billion and employs over 19,000 colleagues in more than 20 countries. Acrisure was built on entrepreneurial spirit. Prioritizing leadership, accountability, and collaboration, we equip our teams to work at the highest levels possible.

At Acrisure Underwriting, we believe that people deserve better protection and that data and technology make it possible. We are looking for an actuary who shares our belief. This isn’t a back‑office or “sit‑in‑the‑ivory‑tower” position. This is a position where we are building great products and need someone excited by the prospect of joining the team.

With the support of the leadership of Acrisure, we are building a modern tech platform that includes an actuarial and analytics suite alongside the underwriting workbench. We need someone creative who can go deep to solve real business problems, build and leverage analytics and technology to shape pricing strategies, build and refine models, inform product design (new and existing), and tell compelling data‑driven stories to our carrier partners and reinsurers.

You’ll partner daily with underwriters, program managers, software and data engineers, and reinsurance brokers. Your work will inform pricing actions, uncover new opportunities, and drive smarter decisions.
