If so, American Family Insurance may be the place for you! Our actuaries play a key role in the operations of our company, through their ability to solve problems, analyze data and communicate effectively.
What Exactly is an Actuary?
You may not be familiar with the term "Actuary" (there are only about 20,000 actuaries total in all of North America!) but their expertise is very important to anyone who owns insurance policies.
The work of actuaries is essential to the insurance industry. Simply stated, they identify how much to charge policyholders for insurance premiums by calculating the costs of accepting risk (in other words, how much an insurance company can anticipate paying in claims). Actuaries also assist in the design of new insurance products and help ensure our company is financially stable and solvent.
If you're considering a career as an actuary, you'll need a strong knowledge of math - calculus and statistics - as well as strong computer, analytical and problem-solving skills. You'll also need an undergraduate degree in Actuarial Science, Math or a related degree like Risk Management, Statistics or Computer Science. Actuaries also complete a series of exams administered by the Casualty Actuarial Society or the Society of Actuaries during their careers.
Incidentally, the Jobs Rated Almanac has consistently rated the actuarial profession as one of the best jobs in the United States!
