You also establish reserves, produce statistical models that inform decision-making, and analyze problems and business opportunities for the organization’s actuarial initiatives.

  • Identify, analyze and diagnose major issues and make recommendations to decision-making bodies
  • Represent your unit before decision-making bodies
  • Represent Desjardins’s position when making agreements with external partners and organizations
