Director & Actuary, Chief Pricing Office

The Chief Pricing Office (CPO) is an independent, enterprise-wide owner of pricing value creation, ensuring that every deal and every line of business delivers sustainable, risk-appropriate economic value. The CPO serves as the central hub for pricing frameworks, tools, assumptions, and governance across the organization.

The CPO mandate includes:

• Establishing pricing guardrails, frameworks, and standard assumptions to support consistent and accurate pricing
• Acting as a center of pricing expertise, providing guidance and challenge to business lines throughout the deal lifecycle
• Providing first-line protection through deal review, oversight, and escalation where appropriate
• Monitoring pricing performance, identifying emerging risks or underperformance, and driving continuous improvement

You will lead analyses and reviews, partner with business and functional stakeholders, and help implement CPO frameworks, guardrails, and assumption standards to support consistent risk-adjusted value creation.

The Director role is expected to drive cross-business alignment through effective partnership, lead resolution of complex pricing topics within established governance, and elevate key issues and recommendations to AVP/CPO leadership and decision forums as needed.
