    • Collaborate effectively with all actuarial stakeholders on pricing (e.g. secure risk approvals, align with existing internal methodologies)
    • Collaborate effectively with non-actuarial product stakeholders to ensure that product effectively reaches the target market (e.g incorporate sales feedback, support marketing materials)
    • Serve as VA product support for various product maintenance needs (fund partner responses, regulatory filings, etc)
    • Serve as VA product support for any questions that concern their pricing and modeling initiatives
    • Perform peer reviews on other qualified actuarial work products


Qualifications:
    • 3-5 year industry experience preferred
    • ASA required
    • Experience with SQL ideal
    • Experience modelling in GGY AXIS ideal
    • Experience with product Illustrations ideal
    • Experience completing projects independently required, documentation is considered critical
    • Excellent communication skills, with a drive to establish/maintain relationships
    • Highly valued traits are: 1) curiosity and 2) taking initiative to learn and grow and 3) attention to detail


Protective's targeted salary range for this position is $92,000 to $145,000. Actual salaries may vary depending on factors, including but not limited to, job location, skills, and experience. The range listed is just one component of Protective's total compensation package for employees.

This position also offers additional incentive opportunities through an annual incentive based on individual and Company performance.

Employee Benefits:

We aim to protect our employees' wellbeing through a broad benefits offering. For example, we protect physical wellbeing through health, dental and vision insurance. We protect mental wellbeing through mental health benefits and an employee assistance program. We protect time away from work with a variety of paid time away benefits (e.g., paid time off, paid parental leave, short-term disability, and a cultural observance day). We protect financial wellbeing through contributions to healthcare accounts, a pension plan, and a 401(k) plan with Company matching. All employees are encouraged to protect their overall wellbeing by engaging in ProHealth Rewards, Protective's platform to improve wellbeing while earning cash rewards.

Eligibility for certain benefits may vary by position in accordance with the terms of the Company's benefit plans.
