Senior Actuary (FSA) - Fixed Annuity Projections
Overview
A leading life and retirement insurance organization is seeking a Senior Actuary (FSA) to join its Enterprise Valuation team, focusing on fixed annuity projections.

The Role
The Senior Actuary will be responsible for leading and executing actuarial projection work across fixed annuity portfolios, with accountability for analysis, outcomes, and business impact.
