What else you'll be doing:

  • Lead, plan, manage, and deliver reserving, forecasting, and monitoring to produce insightful analysis in a timely and accurate manner.
  • Investigate, analyze, and propose solutions to complex issues.
  • Ensure models researched and built for reserving or other applications use appropriate techniques and data.
