Senior Actuarial Analyst/ Team Lead

Individually we are people, but together we are Aviva. Individually these are just words, but together they are our Values Care, Commitment, Community, and Confidence.

Traditional actuarial work has always been complex, rigorous and challenging. For that reason, actuaries have typically worked behind the scenes to make products as complicated as insurance policies run smoothly.

But what if you were given the opportunity to work directly with the business and the operations? To work with pace, contribute to meaningful, value-adding projects, and help shape the way we work as a company by using data to tell stories, or by building predictive models that influence how we operate and prioritize our work?

Aviva Canada is looking for a hard-working individual interested in joining the Claims Insights and Solutions team within Claims.

This role is open for Senior Actuarial Analyst, Actuarial Team Lead, and Actuarial Manager depending on the individual's qualifications and experience.

The applicant will work in a dynamic environment and gain exposure across a broad spectrum of actuarial and data science disciplines, while also working directly with the business and the operations.
