Location: Newport Beach, CA or Omaha, NE (hybrid schedule: 4 days in office; relocation required if not currently near one of the offices).
We are seeking an experienced Actuary & Director to lead complex, enterprise‑wide actuarial initiatives across products, functions, and reporting frameworks. The role serves as a product owner and delivery leader, partnering with senior actuarial, finance, and technology executives to align stakeholders and drive outcomes.
Responsibilities
Serve as product owner and accountable delivery lead for enterprise actuarial initiatives, owning scope, priorities, and outcomes across the project lifecycle.
Translate actuarial and business requirements into clear execution plans, aligning actuarial, finance, and technology partners through the project.
Drive consistent, enterprise‑level implementation of actuarial business requirements, including reporting frameworks, methodologies, and regulatory changes across internal and external reporting bases.
Lead complex initiatives such as actuarial reporting transformations, governance framework development, implementations of technical actuarial elements, and actuarial workstreams within large‑scale cross‑functional change programs.
Partner with PMO and enterprise stakeholders to manage prioritization, dependencies, risks, and communications; synthesize issues and recommendations for senior leadership.
Provide hands‑on technical and strategic leadership where short‑to‑medium‑term actuarial subject‑matter expertise is required to unblock progress and ensure delivery.

Experience leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives.
Deep working knowledge of actuarial reporting frameworks (e.g., regulatory, economic value/economic capital, external vs. internal lenses).
Experience operating in product owner, delivery lead, or technical lead roles on actuarial transformation efforts or other enterprise programs.
Strong ability to synthesize complex technical topics into clear, decision‑oriented messaging for senior leaders and non‑actuarial stakeholders.
Proven ability to plan, prioritize, and deliver results in a fast‑paced, ambiguous, matrixed environment.
Experience collaborating closely with PMO, finance, and technology partners to drive execution.
What Makes You Stand Out
Demonstrated success leading enterprise initiatives through influence and credibility.
Experience acting as a trusted advisor and execution partner to senior actuarial and finance leaders.
