Description
Remote Actuarial Mathematician
Shape Risk Models with Real-World Impact—From Anywhere
Are you driven by the thrill of solving complex puzzles that shape real-world decisions? In this role, your ability to translate numbers into narratives will lay the groundwork for more informed risk management and innovative insurance solutions. You’ll do more than crunch data—you’ll illuminate paths through uncertainty, ensuring that individuals, families, and businesses have the clarity and confidence to plan for tomorrow. If you believe numbers can change lives, and you want your work to stretch across borders, you’re in the right place.
Why Your Work Matters
Insurance, retirement, and risk products touch millions—sometimes invisibly, but always vitally. As a Remote Actuarial Mathematician, your predictive models will inform decisions that impact healthcare policies, pension plans, and investment portfolios worldwide. Every calculation, every scenario, and every probability you assess empowers people to make bold moves with greater certainty. This is your opportunity to see your insights have a lasting impact, ensuring stability and growth for both organizations and individuals.
How You’ll Make a Difference
Imagine diving deep into mountains of raw data—financial records, claims, population statistics, and market forecasts. You’ll spot trends that others miss, unravel patterns that predict the future, and deliver findings that are as accessible as they are accurate. Your day might start by fine-tuning mortality models and end by collaborating with underwriting teams to launch new, customer-centric products. Along the way, you’ll make risk feel less like a threat and more like an opportunity.
- Build models that drive innovation: Whether it’s evaluating the risk of emerging health technologies or mapping the impacts of climate change on property insurance, your actuarial work will steer big-picture strategy.
- Communicate insights that inspire action: You’ll transform dense data into stories that decision-makers can trust, presenting forecasts and recommendations in a way that resonates across teams—from technical leads to executives.
- Foster trust through accuracy: Stakeholders rely on your judgment to price products, project losses, and advise on capital reserves. Your attention to detail and relentless pursuit of precision instills confidence at every turn.
Key Responsibilities
- Risk Analysis & Forecasting: You’ll design and refine statistical models to project losses, premium requirements, and solvency risks—always factoring in the latest regulatory guidance and market shifts.
- Data-Driven Problem Solving: You’ll wrangle large datasets using SQL, Python, or R, automating tedious calculations and freeing you up to focus on drawing deeper insights instead of managing repetitive calculations.
- Collaborative Product Development: Working closely with product managers, underwriters, and data scientists, you’ll inject actuarial thinking into every phase of product creation and refinement.
- Continuous Improvement: The world changes fast—so do risks. You’ll champion continuous learning, whether that’s staying current with IFRS 17, machine learning trends, or advances in mortality and morbidity research.
- Stakeholder Education: Your presentations and reports will turn statistical complexity into clear, actionable advice. You’ll field tough questions, guide colleagues through your process, and ensure everyone feels equipped to act on your recommendations.
What Sets You Apart
Curiosity is your superpower. You’re energized by ambiguity, tenacious in your pursuit of clarity, and you thrive on making sense of uncertainty. You know that an effective actuarial mathematician doesn’t just deliver answers—they help teams ask the right questions. When others see only spreadsheets, you see stories and opportunities. You communicate complicated concepts so that anyone—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or a quick Loom video—walks away with a deeper understanding.
Skills & Qualifications
- Academic Excellence: You’ve completed advanced studies in mathematics, statistics, actuarial science, or a related quantitative field—ideally with credentials from an actuarial professional body. Your foundation in probability theory, financial mathematics, and modeling gives you an edge.
- Technical Versatility: You move comfortably between actuarial modeling platforms (e.g., Prophet, GGY AXIS, MoSes), programming languages (Python, R), and database tools (SQL, Excel). Experience with machine learning or predictive analytics is a plus.
- Clear Communication: You simplify the complex—translating statistical nuances into insights that drive decisions. Your written reports and virtual presentations win trust and spark collaboration.
- Resilience & Agility: Projects and priorities shift quickly; you adapt without losing focus or accuracy. You’re energized by new challenges, not intimidated.
- Remote Collaboration: You’re at home in a distributed team, partnering across time zones using tools like Teams, Slack, Notion, and collaborative whiteboards. You know how to stay connected and keep projects moving forward.
The Remote Experience
Freedom fuels your best work. You’ll design your workspace and set a routine that enables deep focus—whether that’s a morning burst of model development or late-night analysis when inspiration strikes. The team supports flexibility, encourages meaningful work-life balance, and values results over hours logged. Regular virtual stand-ups, project syncs, and feedback sessions ensure you always feel part of something bigger, even from afar.
Tools & Tech Stack
- Prophet, GGY AXIS, Moses, or similar actuarial software for modeling and forecasting
- Python and R for data analysis, automation, and visualization
- SQL for data extraction and cleaning
- Excel (advanced functions and macros) for scenario analysis and reporting
- Collaboration via Teams, Zoom, Notion, and Slack
Compensation & Growth
You’ll earn a competitive annual salary of $93,525, reflecting your expertise and impact in the actuarial domain. Beyond your paycheck, you’ll access ongoing professional development—industry conferences, exam support, and in-house knowledge sharing. As you grow your skills, you’ll also gain visibility, taking on strategic projects that build your profile as a thought leader in the remote actuarial community.
What Success Looks Like
Picture yourself guiding product launches, informing policy shifts, and anticipating market changes. Your models will be cited by leaders, your insights will be requested by new business units, and your recommendations will be trusted as the gold standard. Clients and colleagues alike will know you as the mathematician who makes risk management empowering, actionable, and even inspiring.
