We’rea small, boutique, fully remote consulting firm built by actuaries and technologists who wanted to rethink how actuarial work is done.

We help your favorite frequent flyer program, hotel,bankor retail loyalty program measure andoptimizethe economic value that the program creates through a modern, highly technical combination of actuarial theory, machine learning, and big data technology.

As a lean and growing team, weoperatemuch more like a startup than a large consulting firm. We move quickly, expecta high levelof execution, and rely on team members to take ownership of theirworkendtoend. This is an environment for people who work efficiently, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and enjoy delivering high-quality work without layers of process or bureaucracy.

We alsoleverageAI in service of human potential -- not to replace our people, but to amplify whatthey’realready great at.

We’relooking for a highly motivated actuary to help us manage and grow a portfolio of client relationships. This role is best suited for someone who thrives on being the connective tissue between technical analysis and client decision-making; someone who can own a project endtoend, keep multiple work streams moving at once, and turn complex modeling outputs into a clear, compelling story for a client.

This is a place where you can make a real impact, as opposed to getting lostas one more cog in a big machine.

You’llact as the primary point of contact for a set of clients, partnering with our analysts and data scientists to scope and execute actuarial analyses rooted in machine learning.

Youdon’tneed to write the code yourself, but you do need to understand the analysis well enough to guide it, question it, and defend it in front of a client.

Even within our niche, no two engagements look alike — airline, hotel, retail, gaming, and ticketing loyalty programs all behave differently. Ifyou’rean actuary who’s bored of running the same reserving analysis on repeat, this is about as non-traditional as actuarial work gets.

• You’rethe first call for a set of assigned clients, fielding quick adhoc questions one moment and steering a multi-week project the next
• You work with analysts and data scientists to translate a client’s business problem into an actuarial analysis, then build and manage the project plan to keep it on track
• You dig into the outputs of predictive models to sanity-check the results and understand what’sreally driving them, not just what the model produced
• You synthesize those results into a clear narrative: building the slides, the talk track, and the recommendation that helps a…
