Why This Role?

This is a meaningful leadership role within the enterprise P&C actuarial reserving organization, designed for a senior actuarial manager who wants to sit close to complex reserve analysis, business decision-making, and the continued modernization of reserving practices.

The role requires a strong blend of technical actuarial judgment, analytical discipline, people leadership, and the ability to translate complex results into clear recommendations that support business decisions.

As a Senior Actuarial Manager, you will not only execute core reserving responsibilities, you will help strengthen the craft of reserving through improved methodology, data quality, documentation, tool utilization, and team development. This is a role for someone who can operate independently on complex analyses, guide analysts through high-quality execution, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of a modern reserving function.

• Guide work across projects and priorities. Plan, manage, and contribute to high-complexity projects that may span multiple disciplines, balancing technical quality, timelines, stakeholder needs, and execution discipline.

• Develop analysts and build team capability. Lead a team by setting expectations, coaching technical development, reviewing work, and providing input on talent management, development, and team effectiveness.

• Advance the reserving craft. Contribute technical and thought leadership through improvements to reserving methods, processes, tools, documentation, and analytical approaches, often serving as a subject-matter expert within the team.

• Apply business and regulatory context. Use knowledge of insurance products, market dynamics, claims trends, and the regulatory environment to inform reserving conclusions and influence appropriate business decisions.
