Evaluate model performance, identify areas for improvement, and drive modernization or re-architecture initiatives when appropriate.
Ensure models accurately reflect accounting bases, including US GAAP (LDTI), US statutory, tax, and economic frameworks; familiarity with BMA regulatory standards is a plus.
Work collaboratively with valuation, capital, FP&A, risk, and product teams to align modeling approaches and ensure timely delivery of required outputs.
Partner with technology and model infrastructure teams to advance automation, performance optimization, and integration with upstream and downstream systems.
Provide actuarial expertise, direction, and peer review on model assumptions, methodologies, and controls.
Mentor and guide actuarial staff on modeling best practices, coding standards, and actuarial software techniques.
Develop clear, comprehensive, audit-ready documentation and support internal/external audit, model validation, regulators, and rating agency inquiries.
Monitor emerging regulatory, industry, and modeling developments to maintain a forward-looking model strategy.

10+ years of actuarial experience, with a strong emphasis on financial modeling, model governance, and model infrastructure.
Deep hands-on expertise in MG-ALFA; experience architecting or owning enterprise model frameworks strongly preferred.
Extensive knowledge of US GAAP (including LDTI) and US statutory accounting; experience with BMA capital and reporting requirements considered a significant advantage.
Strong programming and scripting skills (e.g., Python, SQL, VBA, C++ or equivalent) with demonstrated ability to automate complex actuarial workflows.
Proven experience with model governance, change management, documentation standards, and validation frameworks.
