VP, Actuarial Valuation & Transactions

A well-capitalized and growing insurance platform is seeking a senior actuarial leader to help shape the next phase of its valuation and transaction infrastructure.

This is not a pure quarter-end reporting role. It is a highly visible opportunity for an experienced actuary to lead work across valuation, model enhancement, and transaction execution in a complex life and annuity environment. The role sits at the intersection of actuarial, pricing, reporting, data, and technology, and is ideal for someone who enjoys both hands-on technical work and cross-functional leadership. You will play a key role in translating new business activity into scalable valuation processes, improving model readiness, and supporting a growing reinsurance-focused platform.
