What are some common challenges actuaries face when working on cross-functional teams?

Actuaries often collaborate with professionals from finance, IT, marketing, and underwriting to develop models and communicate risk assessments. A common challenge is translating complex statistical findings into actionable insights that non-technical stakeholders can understand. Additionally, balancing strict regulatory requirements with business objectives requires strong problem-solving and communication skills. Being adaptable and open to feedback is key to ensuring project success and effective teamwork.

What is the difference between Actuary Science vs Data Analyst?

AspectActuary ScienceData Analyst
Required CredentialsActuarial exams, certifications (e.g., ASA, FSA)Bachelor's degree, sometimes certifications (e.g., CAP, CDA)
Work EnvironmentInsurance, finance, consulting firmsVarious industries including marketing, finance, healthcare
Industry UsageRisk assessment, insurance pricing, pension planningData interpretation, reporting, business insights

Actuary Science and Data Analyst roles share skills in data analysis and statistical tools, but actuaries focus more on risk modeling and insurance-related calculations, often requiring professional certifications. Data analysts typically handle broader data interpretation across industries without the same certification requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an actuary, and why are they important?

To thrive as an actuary, you need strong mathematical, statistical, and analytical skills, typically backed by a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, or a related field, and progress toward actuarial certifications such as SOA or CAS. Proficiency in actuarial software, Excel, programming languages like SQL or Python, and risk modeling tools is commonly required. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help actuaries interpret complex data and explain findings to stakeholders. These competencies are crucial for accurately assessing risk, informing business decisions, and ensuring financial stability for organizations.

What is actuarial science?

Actuarial science is the discipline that applies mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk in insurance, finance, and other industries. Actuaries use these skills to analyze uncertain future events, such as accidents, deaths, and natural disasters, and help organizations make informed decisions about policies and financial planning. The field combines knowledge from mathematics, statistics, economics, and finance, making it essential for managing risk and ensuring financial stability.

Actuary

Arbol

Sarasota, FL • Remote

$160K - $190K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 14 days ago

Job description

Arbol is a global climate risk coverage platform and FinTech company offering full-service solutions for any business looking to analyze and mitigate exposure to climate risk. Arbol’s products offer parametric coverage which pays out based on objective data  triggers rather than subjective assessment of loss. Arbol’s key differentiator versus traditional InsurTech or climate analytics platforms is the complete ecosystem it has built to address climate risk. This ecosystem includes a massive climate data infrastructure, scalable product development, automated, instant pricing using an artificial intelligence underwriter, blockchain-powered operational efficiencies, and non-traditional risk capacity bringing capital from non-insurance sources. By combining all these factors, Arbol brings scale, transparency, and efficiency to parametric coverage.

Arbol is building an AI-enabled homeowners insurance platform focused on underserved coastal and catastrophe-exposed markets. We are looking for a talented actuary to lead pricing, reserving, reinsurance analytics, and portfolio analytics while working side-by-side with our AI and engineering teams to build the next generation of actuarial workflows.

In this role, you will work primarily on homeowners’ insurance in coastal southern states, with opportunities to support expansion into new lines and territories. A major focus will be translating complex actuarial judgment, workflows, and analyses into scalable AI-enabled tools that improve speed, rigor, and decision-making across the business. The ideal candidate takes ownership, is fluent in the right tools required for the task (Excel, Python, Claude Code, etc.), and is excited to work at the intersection of actuarial science, insurance operations, and applied AI. 

 

What You'll Be Doing

Pricing & Rate Indications

  • Develop rate indications and pricing analyses (e.g., territory, deductible, and other rating factors).
  • Monitor rate adequacy, loss trends, inflation impacts, and emerging experience.
  • Build and maintain pricing tools, exhibits, and documentation used for internal decisions and regulatory filings.

Reserving & Loss Analytics

  • Perform quarterly reserve analyses (e.g., triangles, ultimate loss selections, IBNR, diagnostics) for homeowners and related lines.
  • Monitor loss emergence, claim severity/frequency trends, and CAT vs non-CAT performance.
  • Partner with Claims and Finance to reconcile results, investigate drivers, and improve data quality.

Portfolio Management & Performance Monitoring

  • Build recurring dashboards to monitor portfolio performance and emerging trends
  • Work with AIR and other catastrophe model output to assess exposure concentrations, catastrophe load, and risk-adjusted returns.
  • Evaluate reinsurance program impacts and support related reporting and analytics.
  • Support scenario analyses, including catastrophe load, trend, rate change, and mix sensitivities.

 

Actuarial Process Automation & AI Partnership

  • Learn Lilypad's actuarial processes end-to-end and identify opportunities for automation (e.g., gross-to-net loss calculations, reserve workflows).
  • Serve as a bridge between the actuarial and AI/engineering teams, translating actuarial logic into requirements that can be built into automated tools.
  • Write and maintain Python-based workflows to streamline recurring analyses; collaborate with the AI team on tool development.

 

Cross-Functional Support

  • Collaborate with Underwriting, Claims, Finance, Data/Engineering, and Leadership on special projects (product changes, underwriting guidelines, new territories/segments, vendor evaluation, etc.).
  • Contribute to process improvements, automation, and better controls/documentation.
What You'll Need
  • 5-8 years of P&C actuarial experience. ACAS/FCAS credential
  • High ownership and self-starter mindset; able to drive work forward with limited structure.
  • Strong proficiency in Excel and Python, with the ability to build clean, repeatable analyses.
    Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related quantitative field
What's Great to Have
  • Experience building repeatable analytics (dashboards, automated data pulls, version-controlled workflows).
  • Homeowners experience incl: catastrophe exposure management, weather/CAT analytics, inflation/trend work, or rate filing support.
  • Experience with reserving methods (e.g., chain ladder/BF/Cape Cod style approaches) and/or pricing indications.
  • Knowledge of policy/claims data structures and common insurance KPIs.
 
Essential Job Functions & Physical Requirements
  • Ability to sit for extended periods of time while working at a computer, with or without reasonable accommodation
  • Ability to use a computer, keyboard, mouse, and standard office equipment (e.g., phone, printer, scanner)
  • Ability to view a computer screen for prolonged periods, with or without reasonable accommodation
  • Ability to communicate effectively in person, by phone, and via email
  • Ability to occasionally stand, walk, bend, and reach within an office environment
  • Ability to lift and/or move up to 10–15 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, files), with or without reasonable accommodation
  • Ability to perform repetitive motions, such as typing or data entry
  • Ability to maintain focus and attention while performing detailed tasks
