Job description

Actuarial Student
Put your analytical skills to work while building a rewarding actuarial career. As an Actuarial Student, you will support meaningful modeling projects, analyze data, validate results, and collaborate with experienced actuaries while continuing progress toward Society of Actuaries membership. Our student program includes on-the-job study time, raises, and bonuses based on exam progress.

Modern Woodmen of America is one of the nation's largest fraternal benefit societies, with over $18 billion assets. Fraternals are unique membership organizations that pair the "member-owned" characteristic of a mutual insurance company with the "social mission" characteristic of a service organization. They unite individuals with common bonds, provide a variety of life insurance and investment products, and form one of the nation's most effective volunteer networks.
Responsibilities:
  • Become knowledgeable on actuarial modeling, valuation, and other actuarial financial reporting principles, including product and asset calculations.

  • Coordinate model and valuation system changes and implement new or revised reports as needed.
  • Audit and verify certificate rates, calculated values, administrative system values, and data involved in periodic statutory valuations.
  • Assist staff actuaries in performing experience studies to help develop or update model assumptions and support product analysis.
  • Provide analytic support for other departments as needed.
  • Recommend improvements to model governance and control procedures.
  • Support the functions performed by the Actuarial Services section.
  • Meet exam and education progress requirements to maintain membership in the actuarial career program.

  • Pay: The annual pay for this position is $64,000.00-$70,000.00. The specific rate will depend on the successful candidate's qualifications, prior experience and exam progress.

We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas at this time, nor can we guarantee future sponsorship.
  • Work Arrangements: This is a full-time, hybrid salaried position: 37.5 hours per week (7.5 hours per day), Monday- Friday, with flexible start time between 7 a.m.-9 a.m. Hybrid positions work at least four days in office each week.
