Taylor & Mulder, Inc. is a fast-growing property & casualty actuarial consulting firm offering services to a wide array of public and private sector clients. We are seeking actuaries with property & casualty experience to work with a tight-knit team on often cutting-edge actuarial issues. Work will be performed remotely, so self-motivation is a must!
We are looking for a modeling actuary who can review rate filings from numerous companies in many states to evaluate complex statistical models in rate filings. The actuary should be conversant with statistical concepts and basic GLMs. Ideal candidates will have some familiarity with random forests, k-means, and neural networks, along with interest and willingness to learn and do research when needed to understand the workings of an unfamiliar model.

Analysis and manipulation of underlying statistical information
Loss reserve studies
Pricing and cost allocation studies
Financial examinations and audits
Captive and risk retention group studies
Self-insurance studies
Assist with expert witness testimony
Writing reports and preparing report exhibits
Writing marketing proposals
Successful candidates will have on-the-job experience. Familiarity with statistical modeling is a requirement. Some experience in ratemaking and/or reserving is required. Candidates are well-rounded: able to think analytically and to communicate results in straightforward terms. Good writing skills are a plus. Strong candidates are naturally curious about their work and take initiative to find unique solutions to actuarial problems. Candidates must have strong Word and Excel skills. Programming languages are a plus.
Candidates need to have MAS1, MAS2 and Exam 5 at a minimum. If not credentialed, candidates should be willing to take actuarial exams.
