What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Analyst, Actuarial & Data Science position at QualRisk?
Job Title: Senior Analyst
Location: New York City, hybrid
Reports To: Senior Director
Type: Full-Time
Role
QualRisk is seeking a full-time Senior Analyst with a background in insurance pricing or analytics to support our P&C consulting engagements. This role is well-suited to someone who loves data science and technical work but is just as happy rolling up their sleeves on strategic consulting work, or someone looking to round out a technical background with broader business and client-facing experience. Actuarial credentials (or progress toward them) are a plus but not required. No formal actuarial exam support will be offered. Specifically, the Senior Analyst will:
- Support pricing and analytical workstreams alongside senior team members, contributing both technical judgment and business insight.
- Perform research and analysis on industry and company-level trends and synthesize findings into clear insights.
- Contribute pricing or actuarial perspective to rate indications, profitability, and business case discussions.
- Manipulate and query datasets and provide data visualizations to support analysis.
- Create and deliver client-ready documents and presentations that make technical work accessible to non-technical audiences.
- Contribute to financial analysis and business case development.
- Participate and contribute to internal and client meetings, sharing ideas and helping solve client business challenges.
- Manage multiple workstreams and communicate updates to stakeholders.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree with 3-6 years of experience in insurance pricing, actuarial, or analytics roles (P&C industry strongly preferred).
- Pricing experience required, such as exposure to rate indications, rating plan development, or model development.
- Comfortable moving between technical/analytical work and broader strategic or client-facing consulting work.
- Actuarial exam progress (ACAS/FCAS track) is a plus, but not required; strong candidates from data science or analytics backgrounds are equally welcome.
- Working familiarity with data tools (e.g., SQL, R, or Python) is a plus, but deep hands-on modeling skill is not required for this role.
- Advanced Excel skills, with ability to build spreadsheets to analyze business performance or support financial analysis.
- Strong verbal and written communication with the ability to summarize technical work effectively for non-technical audiences.
- Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving ability and excellent organization/planning skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and work well in a fast-paced environment.
- Team player with the ability to build relationships and work well with others.
- Interest in technology, start-up culture, and being at the forefront of the latest analytical and modeling techniques.
