The San Francisco Tri-State Property and Casualty practice, comprised of about 50 employees, represents a wide range of expertise, with abundant opportunities to develop and apply actuarial and complementary skills such as data science and geospatial analysis. We work on some of today's most important insurance problems, including climate resilience and telematics. We consult with insurance carriers, reinsurers, and self-insureds on loss reserving and pricing. We also build predictive models and innovative insurance products for traditional and start-up insurers, as well as the associated state regulatory rate filing support.

What You Will Do

Our Actuarial Analysts work closely with diverse project teams to execute analyses and conduct research that informs innovative solutions for our clients' complex challenges. In addition to hands-on analytical work, Actuarial Analysts have opportunities to present findings to peers, project managers, and client relationship managers. Project assignments and participation in internal interest groups foster collaboration and contributions across the practice.

The actuarial skillset is essential to both our traditional work and our growth in emerging markets. We are committed to developing a strong pipeline of actuarial talent and future leaders. Analysts in our practice are expected to pursue a credential with the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), and we provide both time and financial support for exam preparation.

In this unique position, you will play a critical role in the rate analysis and development of rate updates for an insurance program with nationwide impact. Your primary responsibilities will involve extracting, cleaning, and analyzing complex datasets using your advanced SQL and Python skills. Strong preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate the ability to solve real-world data problems in a professional services environment.

Your analyses will incorporate property, policy, and geographic information to support robust, data-driven rate recommendations. You'll collaborate with our GIS and catastrophe modeling teams to build and refine predictive models, helping to set fair and accurate premiums. You will also prepare comprehensive exhibits, charts, and interactive visualizations to communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. The role is deadline-driven, highly collaborative, and requires creativity and perseverance as you adapt to new challenges, evolving methodologies, and the dynamic nature of property risk.

Bring your hands-on experience managing and manipulating large, complex datasets to work in this exciting and unique actuarial role!
