About Us:
At Everly, our vision is to change the paradigm of insurance. We know life insurance can be confusing and complex. We know that most people purchase life insurance at a milestone moment and file it away for the future. We want to change how people think about, buy, and use life insurance by being a partner in life’s journey. We are focused on making things that matter, making meaningful connections, and making things work WAY better. Our goal is to provide radically transparent, consumer-first insurance solutions.
We are looking for people with a continuous improvement mindset. Those who think the opposite of “This is how we’ve always done it”. We want people on our team who are always asking “How can we do this better?”
Our company values are a guide to our behavior and help inform our decisions. We want people who embody those values of breaking down barriers, owning the outcome, embracing the journey, and sparking joy.
This is a remote position based in the US with occasional travel.
About the role:
As a Modeling Lead, you will work closely with the Head of Modeling to design, build, and operate Everly’s actuarial modeling ecosystem and the supporting actuarial/finance data foundation. This is a highly hands‑on role spanning actuarial models, enterprise data design, and end‑to‑end data pipelines that power pricing, reserving, reporting, and analytics.
You will also help leverage AI‑enabled tooling to accelerate the development and evolution of Everly’s in‑house actuarial modeling platform—improving development velocity, validation workflows, documentation, and insight generation while maintaining strong actuarial controls and governance.
This position is ideal for a senior actuarial modeler who is comfortable operating at the intersection of actuarial science, software engineering, and modern data platforms.
What You’ll Do:
1. Actuarial Modeling & Execution
Build, enhance, and maintain actuarial models for pricing, reserving, projections, and financial analytics.
Translate modeling standards and approaches set by the Head of Modeling into robust, production‑ready implementations.
Implement, test, and maintain actuarial assumptions, experience studies, and stress/scenario analyses.
Support recurring and ad‑hoc model runs across development, validation, and production environments.
Refactor and optimize models for performance, transparency, and scalability.
2. Enterprise Data Model & Modern Data Pipeline Support
Help design and maintain the enterprise actuarial and finance data model, ensuring consistency across pricing, valuation, financial reporting, and analytics.
Partner with Data Engineering and Technology teams to support end‑to‑end data pipelines (ingestion → transformation → storage → consumption) that make actuarial outputs reliable and reusable.
Support data validation, reconciliation, and controls between source data, model inputs/outputs, and downstream reporting.
Contribute to a modern data lake / lakehouse approach where appropriate, and support use cases across platforms such as Snowflake and open table formats.
3. Modeling Infrastructure, Controls & Governance
Contribute to shared modeling frameworks, libraries, and reusable components.
Support model versioning, documentation, testing, and change management processes.
Assist with internal model reviews, validation efforts, audit requests, and regulatory support.
Identify model and data risks, limitations, and dependencies, and communicate them clearly.
4. AI‑Enabled Modeling & Platform Evolution
Partner with the Head of Modeling to apply AI and automation to improve speed and quality of model development and enhancement.
Use AI‑enabled tooling to support activities such as development acceleration, test generation, documentation drafting, model/result validation workflows, and scenario exploration—while keeping human actuarial judgment in control.
Evaluate new approaches pragmatically, prioritizing auditability, reproducibility, and measurable impact.
5. Cross‑Functional Partnership
Work closely with Finance, Product, Data, Technology, and Operations teams to ensure actuarial models and data outputs are actionable and consumable.
Translate actuarial and financial results into clear insights for non‑actuarial stakeholders.
Support strategic initiatives including new product development, reinsurance analysis, and platform evolution.
Skills and Experience:
Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Finance, Statistics, or a related field.
Progress toward, or attainment of, ASA or FSA (or equivalent designation).
6–10+ years of experience in actuarial modeling within life insurance and/or annuities.
Strong hands‑on experience in pricing and/or reserving models.
Strong quantitative development skills with proficiency in one or more of: Python, R, C++, Rust, Java.
Experience working with large datasets and structured analytical/modeling workflows.
Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail, controls, and data integrity.
What Sets You Up for Success at Everly:
You enjoy building and improving systems, not just maintaining them.
You thrive in early‑stage environments where structure is evolving.
You value clean interfaces between models, data, and reporting.
You’re curious about how AI can augment actuarial work, and grounded enough to apply it thoughtfully in a regulated environment.
