Job Title

AVP, R&D

Job Description

We have a great opportunity to join our Global R&D function as a leader of a team of five actuaries and analysts. You will be leading the development of biometric assumptions for a range of different global reinsurance markets. We are looking for someone who can influence key stakeholders in the business to maximize the value of assumption knowledge.

In this role, you'll work with colleagues across the company on both Longevity and Protection markets in Europe and North America, giving you diverse exposure and the opportunity to make a real impact. You will be responsible for all aspects of the delivery of assumptions, from planning, team management, technical direction, stakeholder engagement and implementation.

A key focus over the next few years will be to scale the team capabilities for the increase in volume of assumptions which we need to produce. This will come through being courageous in improving economies of scale and standardizing and sharing capabilities.

You will lead stakeholder relationships with people across the business:

R&D teams across multiple geographies
Savings & Retirement and Protection teams inside the Reinsurance Division to support on Pricing and Product developments
Division teams such as Corporate Actuarial, Operations and Risk
Biometric teams in other Divisions on shared assumptions related to the US market

We are a collaborative and friendly team who thrive to provide their best. You will report to the VP, R&D.

How You’ll Help Move Us Forward

You'll be a recognized leader in actuarial assumption development - setting the direction, raising the bar, and leaving a visible mark on how we work across global markets.
Redefine what market-leading looks like. You'll bring genuine intellectual curiosity to assumption development - challenging inherited methodologies, pioneering new analytical approaches, and setting a standard that competitors will follow.
Build a team that scales with ambition. You'll be accountable for growing a high-performing function - streamlining how we work, eliminating inefficiency, and developing the next generation of actuarial talent.
Influence decisions at the highest level. You'll forge strong relationships with senior stakeholders across Pricing, Product, and beyond - translating complex technical judgements into clear, compelling recommendations that drive real business decisions.
Be the function's critical voice. You'll provide rigorous, independent challenge to Pricing assumptions - ensuring intellectual honesty sits at the heart of everything we do.
Shape the profession, not just the company. Through thought leadership, academic partnerships, and research initiatives, you'll help define where actuarial thinking goes next.

Desirable Skills & Experience

Demonstrable exposure to assumption development with a reinsurer, life company or consultancy. This could be through working directly in a pricing or basis setting team or through a review function.
Qualified Fellow of the Institute or Faculty of Actuaries or other similar organisation with 6+ years post qualified experience.
A good understanding of the Longevity insurance/reinsurance market and/or the Protection insurance/reinsurance market.
Ability and desire to come up with and implement new approaches and techniques.
Report writing and verbal communication skills, including ability to present to senior managers and to forge close relationships with other teams.
Ability to think for yourself and challenge the status quo.
Organised and deadline focused.
Interest and understanding of programming and comfortable with or willing to learn software packages, such as Tableau, SQL (or comparable database language) and R.
Experience with people management or mentoring, and interest in coaching and developing junior staff.

Compensation Range

The compensation range noted represents the company’s good faith minimum and maximum range for this role at the time of posting. The actual compensation offered to a candidate will be dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to experience, qualifications and geographic location.

Working For Pacific Life Re
