What are contract actuaries?

Contract actuaries are professionals who provide actuarial services on a temporary, project-based, or consulting basis rather than working as permanent employees. They typically analyze financial risks using mathematics, statistics, and financial theory to help organizations make informed decisions, often in the insurance, pension, or finance sectors. Companies may hire contract actuaries for specific projects, to cover staff shortages, or to bring specialized expertise. This flexible working arrangement can benefit both the actuary and the employer by offering adaptability and access to niche skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Contract Actuarial, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Contract Actuarial, you need strong analytical abilities, advanced mathematical and statistical knowledge, and typically a degree in actuarial science, mathematics, or a related field, often supported by professional actuarial certifications (such as ASA or FSA). Familiarity with actuarial modeling software (like Prophet or MoSes), Microsoft Excel, and specialized data analysis tools is expected. Excellent problem-solving, time management, and communication skills help actuaries deliver precise results while collaborating with clients and stakeholders. These capabilities are crucial for providing accurate risk assessments and ensuring compliance within dynamic project-based environments.

What are some common challenges faced by contract actuaries, and how can they be addressed?

Contract actuaries often face the challenge of adapting quickly to new company cultures, systems, and regulatory environments, as each assignment may differ in scope and expectations. Effective communication and strong organizational skills are key to integrating smoothly into project teams and delivering accurate analyses within tight deadlines. Building a network of professional contacts and staying updated on relevant actuarial standards can also help contract actuaries overcome these challenges and ensure continued success across diverse projects.

Job description

Actuary - Temp

  • Primary responsibilities will include modeling for the commercial segment, financial projection development, and risk projection development. See below for more details. No specific tools, systems, or industries.
  • Seeking a contract Actuary resource to cover for leave (expected Aug through EOY). Looking to hire and train ASAP.
  • The candidate should have an Actuarial certification (ASA) or FSA
  • Fully remote, working Eastern hours.
  • More experience preferred, healthcare benefits experience highly preferred

Notes on the responsibilities:


There will be 2 areas of project-based work that would take place between August and September and some other areas of support:

    • Gathering forecast inputs from various sources; developing financial projections from those inputs; consolidating forecast results; understanding and communicating variances to prior forecast; developing exhibits and/or slides to support forecast communication to senior leadership and the Board.
    • Develop model to support market segment based financial projections for Commercial Insured business.  Our forecasting infrastructure for Commercial insured business only supports aggregate Commercial insured financial projections.  As a result, after a forecast is complete, we have to perform a retrospective allocation back to our Commercial insured market segments. 
      • We would like to develop a forecast model that allows for prospective financial projections at the Commercial market segment level (Merged Market vs. Large Group Commercial vs. Large Group Municipal/Labor).
    • Conduct a Total Risk Analysis (TRA).  Healthcare cost trend has become increasingly more difficult to predict, causing actual financial results to vary significantly from initial projections. 
      • We would like to conduct a TRA to quantify risk across various risk sources (Insurance risk, Healthcare cost trend risk, risk adjustment risk, Member risk/selection risk) at the market segment level.  This study will help us answer questions around “how much margin would we need to add to rates in order to be X% confident the rates are adequate” as well as “how much explicit margin would we need to add to our best estimate financial forecast in order to be X% confident that we will achieve that forecast”.  This analysis will be based on a recent SOA study on TRA (we will provide an analyst to help pull appropriate data).
    • Lastly, we would need some support for our 2026 Financial Planning process (October – November).
