The Actuary II develops actuarial analyses, with a focus on pricing, in accordance with Casualty Actuarial Society principles. These analyses will directly contribute to the overall performance of the actuarial area with a focus on the analyst's assigned state(s) as well as the potential to positively impact other departments across the organization and overall the results of the company. As the analyses typically rely upon complex processes, with the potential to change in connection with the organization's needs, the Actuary II will be accountable for ensuring that the processes are kept up-to-date and free of errors. The Actuary II therefore acts as a subject matter expert for the actuarial analyses carried out, detailing the inputs and conclusions to others in the organization.
