Job description

As a team member in Finance at Nationwide, a Fortune 100 company with nearly $70 billion in annual sales, the opportunities are endless! Let Nationwide help create your career journey! At Nationwide, "on your side" goes beyond just words. Our customers are at the center of everything we do and we're looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care.

Actuarial Consultant - Pension Risk Transfer Pricing - REMOTE

If you are a pension actuary or Pension Risk Transfer pricing professional looking for a role where your experience will matter immediately, this is an opportunity to step into specialized, high-impact work on a growing team. This position supports Nationwide's Pension Risk Transfer pricing function, with a strong emphasis on complex bids, including deferred-life cases, and is especially well suited for candidates coming from pension consulting or related PRT environments.

In this role, you will be a core member of the pricing actuarial team, helping evaluate and price Pension Risk Transfer bids while building deeper expertise in a niche and increasingly important area of the market. The team is looking for someone who understands pension plans and can ramp quickly into retiree-only bids, more complex deferred bids, and broader PRT casework over time.

Candidates with prior pension or PRT experience are strongly preferred, and the ideal background includes roughly three to five years of actuarial experience along with progress toward actuarial credentials such as ASA and eventually FSA.

Why this opportunity stands out

  • Work on sophisticated Pension Risk Transfer pricing cases, including deferred-life bids and other complex transactions.

  • Join a team where this pension and PRT skill set is highly valued and where the person in this role can become a true knowledge owner within the function.

  • Expand beyond traditional pension consulting by developing expertise in insurance concepts, investment strategy considerations, reserves, reinsurance, and broader business drivers.

  • Use a modern actuarial and pricing toolkit that includes Excel, SQL-related tools, Databricks, AXIS, and modeling environments that support sophisticated actuarial analysis.

  • Benefit from a work environment that offers more balance than many settings, while still providing meaningful actuarial growth and challenge.

What you'll be doing

  • Price Pension Risk Transfer bids accurately and on deadline, reflecting reserves, capital, expected benefit payments, tax, investment strategy, and earned rate considerations.

  • Review pension plan terms, evaluate plan populations, support assumption management, and contribute to model development.

  • Collaborate across pricing, investments, ALM, operations, valuation, modeling, and financial reporting to support both pre-sale and post-sale work.

Ideal candidate profile

We are especially interested in candidates with pension consulting or Pension Risk Transfer actuarial experience who want to bring that background into a role with broader insurance exposure and meaningful ownership. Strong Excel skills are important, and familiarity with SQL, Databricks, AXIS, modeling, or other programming-oriented actuarial tools will be attractive. Just as important is the ability to learn quickly, solve problems, manage multiple priorities, and work effectively with business partners and internal stakeholders.

This role can be staffed fully remote.
