We are looking for a strong Actuarial Manager on our Pricing team with large state experience.

*We are looking for someone to work hybrid out of our Webster, MA location preferred or within a reasonable commute. Position can be remote.

We will consider candidate qualifications and may hire at a higher level, based on years of relevant experience and depth of analytical and technical ability.

The Manager, Actuarial is accountable for development of actuarial analyses, with a focus on either pricing or reserving, in accordance with CAS (Casualty Actuarial Society) principles. Additionally, the Manager, Actuarial must monitor the Actuarial Analyst and Actuary positions activities to ensure the timely and accurate completion of those analyses and related projects. The analyses will materially contribute to the overall performance of the actuarial area and the organization.

As the analyses typically rely upon complex processes, with the potential to change in connection with the organization’s needs, the Manager, Actuarial will be accountable for ensuring that the processes evolve to meet those needs. While much of the work to perform this evolution will be delegated, the Manager, Actuarial is accountable to ensure that the changes are made in a timely and accurate manner. The Manager, Actuarial will also convince both internal and external stakeholders of the correct actions to be taken as a result of the analyses.

If it is believed that foundational changes to existing processes will materially improve performance, the Manager, Actuarial will define the requirements, scope, and a plan to implement those changes. While managing the implementation, the Manager, Actuarial will be responsible for knowing the implications of the changes and being able to communicate them to internal and external stakeholders, ensuring a smooth transition.

As team members will require a significant amount of knowledge and skills to carry out the analyses, the Manager, Actuarial will provide training and/or other sources of knowledge (internal or external) as necessary.
