Reinsurance Lead Actuary Responsibilities
  • Reinsurance Pricing & Portfolio Own the actuarial pricing for SUI's casualty facultative book — experience and exposure rating, loss picks, and renewal assumptions — partnering closely with underwriters
  • Build the pricing and portfolio‑steering framework for SUI's growth lines: property facultative, broker facilities, and casualty treaty
  • Perform loss ratio analysis, rate adequacy reviews, trend studies, and experience monitoring across the reinsurance book
  • Stand behind your numbers — explain methodologies, loss picks, and renewal outcomes to underwriters, cedents, brokers, and leadership
  • Structuring & Growth Help shape how SUI grows — from a single casualty fac program into a multi‑line reinsurance platform — bringing the actuarial lens to new‑line launches and facility design
  • Evaluate exposure, aggregation, and cat where it touches the book; support structuring and capacity decisions
  • Bring rigor to portfolio construction: which risks, at what price, at what attachment, for what return
  • Be comfortable marketing programs, updates and new initiatives to carrier partners
  • Data Science & AI Build SUI's data‑science infrastructure from the ground up — the pipelines, the rating tools, the dashboards, the data architecture that the whole division will run on
  • Apply modern data science — predictive modeling, GLMs, gradient boosting, clustering — to reinsurance pricing and portfolio problems
  • Leverage AI tools (LLMs, agentic workflows, Claude) to automate and augment the work
  • Modernize legacy spreadsheet‑driven workflows into something you'd actually be proud of
  • Leadership & Cross-Functional Impact Sit on the Chief Actuary's leadership team — your work and your judgment shape strategy, not just spreadsheets
  • Be the single actuarial point of contact for the reinsurance division: trusted, accountable, and visible
  • Work directly with underwriting, claims, data engineering, analytics, and leadership across Novacore
  • Contribute to tech‑stack decisions — you'll evaluate platforms, prototype solutions, and build the reinsurance actuarial infrastructure
Qualifications
  • Foundation Strong grounding in mathematical statistics, actuarial science, and practical (re) insurance fundamentals
  • Reinsurance experience strongly preferred — treaty and/or facultative pricing, on the carrier, reinsurer, or broker side
  • P&C and commercial‑lines background; casualty exposure a plus given where SUI starts
  • Progress toward CAS designation is valued; ACAS/FCAS is a plus but not required — we care more about what you can do than what letters follow your name
  • Technical Chops Programming proficiency in Python, R, and/or SQL — you don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be comfortable building things, not just running macros
  • Hands‑on experience with experience rating, exposure rating, and reinsurance pricing tools (e.g. Aon Altair, Meta Risk, or homegrown equivalents)
  • Familiar…
