Lead pricing strategy discussions using advanced analytics and actuarial insight, ensuring decisions are grounded in data and aligned to business outcomes.

Engage directly with senior executives, translating complex technical results into clear, compelling narratives that drive alignment and action.

Build and evolve predictive models that assess risk and forecast demand-directly shaping pricing and business decisions across insurance products.

Influence decision-making at the highest levels by connecting analytics to business value and strategic priorities.

Demonstrate Earnix capabilities in executive and client settings, showing not just how the platform works-but what it enables.

Lead onboarding and training for new users, ensuring fast adoption and rapid time-to-value from day one.

Act as a trusted advisor to clients, bridging business, analytics, and technology to deliver measurable impact.

Requirements
