Treaty Pricing and Underwriting Actuary

This is a rare opportunity for a talented actuary to step beyond a purely technical role and grow into treaty underwriting and broader account leadership. If you are an actuary who wants to be an underwriter—someone eager to own decisions, shape deals, and solve client’s needs—this role is designed for you. The Treaty Pricing and Underwriting Actuary works with client data to evaluate and price various treaty coverage lines and structures. You will engage directly with clients to understand trends, assess pricing adequacy, and solve business problems—developing the judgment and market perspective that underwriting demands. As you grow into the role, your responsibilities expand toward those of a Treaty Underwriter, whose primary responsibility is to assess, underwrite, price, and structure new and renewal treaty business consistent with General Re’s risk appetite and profit margin. The ideal candidate brings high energy and a sense of urgency, attention to detail and a commitment to quality, and genuine intellectual curiosity. You communicate clearly—both in writing and in person—with audiences of varying technical backgrounds. You are open-minded yet able and willing to defend and advocate for your conclusions, and you maintain an analytic approach even where judgment plays a role. You are comfortable working with significant uncertainty and incomplete data, you welcome new learning opportunities, and you adapt readily to changing business demands. Above all, you are excited to broaden your scope beyond actuarial work and grow into underwriting and wider commercial responsibilities. Primary Responsibilities: · Demonstrate strong technical capabilities, including: o Assessing and analyzing exposure to loss o Understanding primary insurance policy coverage o Understanding primary insurance rate making o Evaluating client and product experience o Interpreting reinsurance treaty language and coverage intent o Determining reinsurance pricing based on model outputs and interaction with the account team o Applying knowledge of insurance company financial statements and how financials relate to reinsurance purchasing decisions · Perform pricing analysis on treaty reinsurance business across various lines. · Develop analytics that enhance our understanding of the industry and of our clients. · Progressively take on underwriting responsibilities—assessing, structuring, and pricing new and renewal treaty business. · Build and broaden client relationships, partnering with underwriters and account executives.
