Actuarial Analytics Director - Reinsurance

Group 1001 is a consumer-centric, technology-driven family of insurance companies on a mission to deliver outstanding value and operational performance by combining financial strength and stability with deep insurance expertise and a can-do culture. Group
1001’s culture emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, core business focus, risk management, and striving for outcomes. This goal extends to how we hire and onboard our most valuable assets – our employees.

Why This Role Matters:

This is a hands-on, build-it-yourself position for a quantitative professional who is equally comfortable working in an actuarial reserving triangle and in a production data pipeline. This position owns both the analytics and the data foundation the business runs on, designing, building and operating the insurance and reinsurance data pipeline end to end, then using that foundation to develop the pricing, reserving and capital models that inform real decisions.

The modeling work is genuinely consequential: sophisticated models supporting capital optimization, business growth, reinsurance strategy and risk management, with direct exposure to the leaders who act on them. It is also genuinely hands-on. There is no team of engineers between this role and the data. This role will write the code, validate the numbers, and stand behind the output, and in return get end-to-end ownership of an analytics platform.

This position will work across multiple fronts at once, partnering closely with colleagues in Risk Management, the Guarantee business and the Reinsurance business. Exceptional attention to detail and consistently accurate results are non-negotiable. This role may also supervise analysts, offering a path to build and lead a team as the function grows.
