Position Overview

Delos is seeking an Actuarial Analyst to support pricing and portfolio management for property insurance in climate-impacted markets. Reporting to the Lead Actuary, you will analyze insurance data, maintain and improve pricing tools, monitor portfolio performance, and help launch products in new states.

The ideal candidate has experience in personal lines insurance, strong analytical and communication skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

This is a remote role, with our home office based in San Francisco, California.

Key Responsibilities:

· Data Analysis and Quality: Collect, clean, validate, and reconcile quote, policy, premium, exposure, and available claims data. Investigate discrepancies and document data definitions and analytical methods.

· Pricing and actuarial support: Assist with rate analyses, rating-factor evaluations, loss-cost assumptions, competitive benchmarking, and sensitivity testing. Help assess the effects of coverage, deductible, limit, and minimum-premium changes.

· Excel tools and analytical models: Build, maintain, and improve pricing workbooks, analytical models, and reporting templates with clear formulas, documented assumptions, and reliable quality checks.

· Climate and catastrophe analytics: Work with data science colleagues to understand proprietary wildfire and other risk-model outputs and support their use in pricing, risk segmentation, and exposure monitoring.

· Product and state expansion: Support the development and launch of property products in new states by researching market conditions, state-specific hazards, competitor pricing, coverage differences, and available loss-cost information.

· Rating validation: Calculate expected premiums independently, compare results with the quoting system, and help test rating changes before and after implementation.

· Portfolio monitoring: Analyze production, conversion, retention, cancellations, premium changes, business mix, and geographic and catastrophe exposure concentrations. Support loss-experience and profitability analyses as reliable data becomes available.

· Reporting and communication: Prepare reports, exhibits, and presentations for leadership and carrier partners. Explain findings clearly and identify issues or opportunities for further review.

· Documentation and regulatory support: Help maintain pricing specifications, assumption logs, version records, approval exhibits, and launch checklists. Assist with rate filings and regulatory responses where applicable.

· Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with underwriting, finance, product, technology, and distribution teams to answer business questions, improve workflows, and support new program development.
