• Maintain and enhance reserve controls, documentation standards, and sign-off workflows sufficient to withstand external audit and regulatory review.
• Review and approve methodology changes, model UAT, model simplifications, and reserve movements, with clear documentation of actuarial judgment applied.

• Coordinate with the Appointed Actuary on any actuary-related regulatory examination activity.

Operationalization of New Transactions & Reinsurance Treaties

• Lead the statutory valuation implementation of new products, reinsurance transactions (coinsurance, ModCo, funds withheld), and block acquisitions into statutory reserving processes.
• Partner with the Reinsurance, Finance, Legal, Actuarial, and IT teams to ensure new treaty structures are reflected accurately in reserve calculations and statutory filings, including affiliated reinsurance arrangements.
• Develop and maintain reserve methodology documentation for new transaction types, ensuring compliance with applicable reserve standards.
• Ensure the ETL and data pipeline from valuation models (e.g., MG-ALFA, Aon PathWise) through statutory reporting infrastructure is accurate and well-documented for each transaction.

Capital Template Reporting Oversight

• Oversee actuarial inputs to capital reporting templates, including RBC and other rating agency capital models.
• Support VM-22 and CFT-related capital sensitivity analysis and scenario testing for internal and regulatory purposes.

Leadership & Team Development

• Manage a team of approximately four actuarial professionals, setting clear performance expectations, supporting credentialing progress, and building technical depth.
• Cultivate a culture of collaboration, precision, accountability, and continuous improvement consistent with Athene's standards.

• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop actuarial professionals and drive complex, cross-functional initiatives to completion with sound judgment, adaptability, and a bias for action.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex actuarial concepts for non-actuarial audiences; demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance actuarial workflows, accelerate analysis, and improve productivity.
• Bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
