We are seeking a strategic and experienced Actuary to support our pricing strategy across our portfolio of third-party P&C programs. This role will support program price monitoring, planning, and reinsurance placement, helping to inform underwriting decisions, strengthen cross-functional alignment, and deliver insights that directly impact growth and risk management. You’re an ACAS-credentialed pricing actuary who has worked across several P&C lines and is comfortable building from the ground up. You make sound pricing calls on thin experience data, using industry benchmarks, judgment and a clear statement of your assumptions. You build frameworks, monitoring tools and governance that make pricing consistent across a growing portfolio, and you keep them simple enough to maintain. You explain actuarial conclusions in plain terms to executives, underwriters and program partners, and you work closely with Underwriting, Claims, Finance and Reinsurance. You use SQL, AI tools and code to work faster, and you help develop the people around you.
