E&S Actuary
We're partnering with a client that's launching a new division within a well-established insurance company. This team is focused on building innovative solutions in the Environmental, Energy, and Excess Casualty space-leveraging deep industry expertise while operating with the speed and creativity of a startup.
This is a rare opportunity to join a ground-floor initiative with the backing of a financially strong and reputable insurer.
🔍 About the Role
Our client is seeking a highly technical ACAS or FCAS Actuary with strong experience in both pricing and reserving. This is a hands-on, model-building role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative environment and wants to help shape the actuarial foundation of a new business unit.
This is not a traditional actuarial role-you'll be working closely with underwriting, claims, and analytics teams to build tools, challenge assumptions, and drive strategy.
🛠️ Key Responsibilities
- Build and refine pricing models for Environmental, Energy, and/or Excess lines using advanced actuarial and statistical techniques.
- Lead reserving analyses and support quarterly financial reporting.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate actuarial insights into underwriting and portfolio management.
- Develop tools and frameworks for rate monitoring, segmentation, and performance analysis.
- Contribute to product design and innovation from an actuarial perspective.
âś… Ideal Candidate Profile
- Designation: ACAS or FCAS required.
- Experience: 5+ years in P&C actuarial roles; experience in Environmental, Energy, or Excess lines preferred.
- Technical Skills: Strong programming background (Python, R, SQL, etc.); familiarity with GLMs, predictive modeling, or machine learning is a plus.
- Mindset: Entrepreneurial, analytical, and comfortable working in a startup-style environment.
- Communication: Able to clearly communicate technical findings to both actuarial and non-actuarial stakeholders.
🌟 Why This Role?
- Impact: Be a foundational member of a new actuarial team with direct influence on strategy and execution.
- Innovation: Work on complex, underserved lines of business with room for creativity and experimentation.
- Culture: Startup energy with the support and stability of a legacy insurer.
- Growth: Significant career upside and exposure to leadership.
