Analyst, Investment Analytics

Come join one of America’s fastest-growing insurance companies. Since 1848, National Life Group has aimed to keep our promises, providing families with stability in good times and in bad. Throughout that history, we have provided peace of mind to those families as they plan their futures. Our mission extends beyond the insurance and annuities policies that we offer. We strive to make the world a better place through our grants from our charitable foundation, paid volunteer time for our employees, environmentally sustainable and healthy workplaces, and events that promote the work of nonprofits in our own backyard. We foster a collaborative environment with opportunities for growth and encourage our associates to live our values: Do good. Be good. Make good. About Us NLG Capital, the investment management company of NLG, manages approximately $40+ billion in AUM. Our purpose is simple – to allow NLG to keep its promises. While our process is based on rigor, our culture is based on our guiding principles: Meritocracy, Uncompromising Transparency, Intellectual Honesty, Performance Driven Learning, Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. These principles serve as the foundation of our team. They govern the way we conduct ourselves, how we interact with teammates and how we approach every investment decision. Please note that we do not offer visa sponsorship for this position. Position Summary The Investment Analytics Analyst will have direct exposure to NLG Capital's investment process by supporting senior members of the Office of the CIO team. The role works across asset allocation, risk management, credit surveillance, and competitive intelligence — using modern data including AI tooling to bring transparency, objectivity, and speed to the way we frame portfolio positioning and risk. This is a high-impact seat in National Life's investment process. The analyst will provide the information and reporting our decision-makers need to act with conviction, and will help ensure those decisions remain aligned with the strategic objectives and constraints facing a life insurance general account. Responsibilities Support the Office of the CIO in bringing transparency to NLG Capital's investment strategies across the general account. Build and maintain analytical tools, monitors, and dashboards that organize complex datasets — issuer-level credit data, manager exposures, peer disclosures, market data — into legible and actionable reports for senior decision-makers. Automate recurring workflows — risk reporting, exposure aggregation, ALM scenario inputs — so the team spends its time on judgment, not assembly. Support investment, risk, and operations colleagues in identifying the highest‑leverage problems where technology and AI can compress turnaround time or expand coverage. Apply software engineering practices — version control, code review, testing, documentation — so the tools we build are durable and shareable across the team. The Person Pivotal Experience & Expertise Degree in Financial Engineering, Data Science, or Computer Science (or a combination of experience and education), with a demonstrated interest in financial markets. Demonstrated experience in financial analysis, analytics, or quantitative development roles considered a plus. Python and SQL are core requirements, not nice‑to‑haves. Proficiency with Excel and at least one BI / visualization platform (Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent). Practical experience using LLMs and AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude, Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate analysis, process unstructured documents, and build internal tooling. Exposure to a cloud data platform (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or similar) is a plus. Experience with code‑development best practices—modular code, testing, documentation, code review—is a plus. Intense intellectual curiosity, strong work ethic, and a track record of driving projects to completion. Solid interpersonal skills and an inclusive, collaborative working style. Cultural Fit Results‑driven, with a bias toward shipping useful tools rather than perfect ones. Treats AI as a force multiplier—neither dismissive nor over‑credulous. Knows when to use it, when to verify, and when a model is the wrong tool for the job. Comfortable in an organization that learns from both its mistakes and its successes. Comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to own the work of resolving it. Has the integrity to surface all relevant facts, and the humility to say what they do not know. Proficient in giving and receiving constructive feedback, in real‑time and in structured settings. Practices transparent, direct, open communication across the organization. Promotes collaboration and brings a “firm first” attitude — does what is right for National Life Group.
