Investment and Insurance Analyst

We are a specialized third-party administrator (TPA) focused on nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) and corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) solutions for large plan sponsors. Our new business team operates collaboratively across two core disciplines, investment analytics and insurance solutions, with each team member owning a primary area of expertise while providing meaningful cross-coverage across the full scope of the team's work. This Investment & Insurance Analyst role supports both functions. Depending on your background, your primary ownership will lean toward fund research and financial modeling or toward life insurance illustrations and COLI analysis, but in either case, you will develop working fluency across both areas and contribute to the team's shared responsibilities, including business development support and lead generation. We are open to hiring at the Analyst or Senior Analyst level depending on experience.
