Occupation
Actuary
An Actuary uses statistical modeling and probability theory to assess financial risk for insurance companies, pension funds, or consulting firms, determining premiums, reserves, and long-term liabilities. Day-to-day work often involves building models in Excel/VBA, querying data with SQL, and increasingly using R or Python for analysis, all grounded in rigorous risk assessment. Actuaries are highly quantitative professionals who progress through a demanding series of SOA or CAS professional exams alongside their job responsibilities.

- Build and maintain statistical models to assess financial risk and determine insurance premiums and reserves
- Analyze historical loss data and develop pricing strategies to support profitability and business growth
- Query and organize data using SQL and Excel to support actuarial analyses and reporting
- Develop client-facing reports that translate complex actuarial findings for executives and external stakeholders
