Who you'll work with Group: Balance Sheet Risk Management (BSRM) Reports to: Head of Actuarial Strategy & Integration About the role Join BSRM as our hands-on Senior Predictive Liability Analytics Lead. You’ll build next-gen short-term models of policyholder behavior starting with annuity surrenders, withdrawals, and utilization. You’ll collaborate with other stakeholders such as financial planning, ALM, pricing, valuation and capital as appropriate. This is a technical leadership role (not initially a people-manager or strategy role). You’ll do the math, write the code, build models, and mentor by example. Responsibilities Modeling & Innovation (hands-on) Design predictive and semi-structural models with a short-term focus (performance focused on fitting the next 18-36 months) on long-horizon behavior (surrenders, partial withdrawals, lapse, rider utilization) using GLMs/GAMs, survival & hazard models (Cox, discrete-time, competing risks), tree ensembles (Boost/LightGBM/CatBoost), and deep learning choosing the most appropriate tool depending on the business problem. Leverage unstructured data (contract text, correspondence, customer relationship notes, call transcripts) via NLP/transformer embeddings, RAG pipelines, and LLM-assisted document parsing to create novel behavioral features within guardrails. Pilot generative-AI (foundation models) for feature extraction/summarization; use genetic/evolutionary algorithms for feature selection, architecture search, or synthetic cohort generation when appropriate. Make models scenario-aware: incorporate drivers like credited rate, market rate spreads, moneyness, surrender charge state, distribution channel effects; calibrate elasticity to economic conditions documented in industry studies. Integration with actuarial / finance Translate model outputs into curves/driver functions consumable by projection engines (e.g., Moody’s AXIS, Aon Pathwise, Prophet, RAFM, or internal models); generate reproducible, versioned results tables. Share models with valuation/projection/ALM teams so behavior sensitivities can be considered alongside assumptions that normally flow through cash-flow projections, LDTI assumption updates, RBC/CTE stresses, and hedge effectiveness studies. Partner with valuation and pricing to reconcile actual vs. expected and attribute earnings/variance to behavior; document the “model story” and explainability for governance. MLOps, deployment & monitoring Build training/scoring pipelines in Python/SQL on Databricks/Spark/Snowflake/AWS; track experiments with MLflow/DVC, version in Git, package with containers, and serve via batch/API. Stand up dashboards for calibration, drift, stability, and bias; set retraining schedules, fallback models, rollback criteria, and automated alerts. Cross-functional enablement Co-design experiments (A/B, uplift, causal inference) with Business Owners/Operations/Distribution to test interventions; when warranted, explore contextual bandits/RL for offer timing and messaging. Support Actuarial/Finance/Capital on scenario stress, attribution, and sensitivity runs; including helping to present results to model governance, assumption committees, and internal validation as needed. Skills & Qualifications Master’s/PhD in Statistics, Data Science/ML, Applied Math, Computer Science, or Actuarial Science; FSA/ASA a plus (or equivalent domain depth). Certifications in ML/AI (nice to have). 7–10 years building production predictive models; insurance/annuity or long-duration liability exposure preferred. Practical wins in behavior modeling (surrender/utilization/lapse) and integration Comfortable spanning structured unstructured data and bridging to projection engines. Clear, concise communicator; strong documentation habits; bias to ship and iterate. Mentors by example; sets standards for code quality, reproducibility, and testing. Balances accuracy, interpretability, and operational simplicity under governance. Collaborate within a highly matrixed organization.
