Actuarial Production Consultant; Hybrid

At Securian Financial the internal position title is Actuarial Consultant or Actuarial Sr Analyst. The title and salary will be determined based on experience and applied skills.

This role is a high‑performing hands‑on contributor responsible for executing, strengthening, understanding, explaining, and continuously improving actuarial production processes. Working closely with others, in particular our Appointed Actuary, the role plays a critical part in ensuring production processes run smoothly, results are reliable and understood, and we are continuously providing a greater impact for our stakeholders.

This role is designed for individuals who enjoy working deeply within processes—understanding how data, models, controls, and outputs connect—and who want to build strong operational, technical, and stakeholder‑facing skills. The role is NOT just executing tasks; it actively drives process improvements, builds trusted partnerships, and impacts business outcomes.

The scope for this role will be broad and varying, supporting our diverse business across Individual Life, Individual Annuity, Retirement, Group, Affinity, and Assets, primarily for Cash Flow Testing and supporting our Appointed Actuary, but also as a strong independent performer who can be a flex resource across our team as demand and priorities evolve.

This role plays an essential part in the understanding of Securian's business to enable strategic decisions. The position offers the opportunity to:

• Gain deep, hands‑on experience across a wide scope of business, models, and governance.

• Build relationships with and influence a variety of partners and stakeholders.

• Identify and deliver on opportunities that lead to impactful outcomes for stakeholders and the organization.

• Work independently, with strong accuracy, understanding, and consistency across a broad scope.

• Promote integrity of production outputs, performing reviews, validations, and initial analysis to identify potential issues.

• Engage closely with a variety of partners and stakeholders, including our Appointed Actuary, building confidence in deliverables, strengthening understanding, and delivering on shared outcomes.

• Drive continuous improvement efforts, helping evolve processes to be more impactful, efficient, resilient, trusted, understood, and well‑controlled.

• Build strong understanding of supported products, models, and purposes, ensuring production work aligns with stakeholder needs across a broad scope.

• Demonstrate ownership of assigned responsibilities, delivering on commitments and proactively managing timelines and dependencies.

• Contribute to a culture of accountability, curiosity, and learning, promoting ideas and insights from hands‑on experience.

Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Execute production processes, including data preparation, model runs, result reviews, and downstream analysis and deliverables.

• Perform baseline testing and ongoing validations to support confidence in production outcomes.

• Develop and maintain documentation, testware, and supporting tools that lead to confidence, strong understanding, and explainability.

• Identify, investigate, and resolve production issues, inefficiencies, and other opportunities, working with stakeholders and partners as needed.

• Drive alignment with actuarial governance policies, controls, and best practices.

• Partner across teams to ensure clear handoffs and shared understanding, while proactively addressing emerging issues, dependencies, or changes impacting production.

• Seek out and contribute to opportunities beyond immediate scope that support broader team and partner objectives as well as personal growth.
