• Capital Management Solutions: Promote and cross-sell Aon's Share Buyback transaction services; advise clients on efficient capital deployment strategies to improve shareholder value alongside their risk management programs.
• Consultative Selling: Translate complex quantitative challenges into compelling arguments. Demonstrate to insurance leaders how PathWise® solves specific operational pain points-such as runtime speed, model granularity, and regulatory compliance.
• Revenue Growth: Drive ambitious revenue targets by expanding Aon's presence in the top tier life insurance market; identify and capitalize on opportunities in the fast-growing FIA,RILA and MYGA spaces and along with SAA optimizations for Bermuda Capital, VM-22, and other constraints.
• Program Evaluation: Lead technical pitches that benchmark a prospect's existing hedging program and investment performance against industry guidelines. Provide Aon solutions to address.
• Opportunities influenced by regulations: Use your knowledge of VM-21, VM-22, Bermuda Solvency Capital, and related factors. Engage valuation and reporting actuaries to make PathWise® the key tool for fulfilling current statutory needs and improving capital efficiency.
• Market Intelligence: Monitor capital market trends and competitor activities to provide timely insights to clients and internal product teams.
Skills and experience that will lead to success
• Education: Bachelor's degree in actuarial science, Mathematics, Finance, or a related quantitative field. A master's degree or PhD is preferred.
• Professional Designations:FSA (Fellow of the Society of Actuaries) is required. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) designation is highly preferred.
• Experience:
• 12+ years of progressive experience in the life insurance or investment banking industry, with a specific focus on hedging, ALM, or derivatives.
• Proven Sales/Consulting Track Record: Demonstrated success in business development or senior consulting role, with a history of developing solutions for actuarial and investment partners.
• Commercial Competence: A proactive, goal-oriented approach with the ability to navigate technical procurement processes and influence decision makers.
• Product Expertise: Deep technical understanding of Variable Annuities (VA), RILAs, FIAs, and MYGAs, including their valuation, risk sensitivities (Greeks), and hedging instruments.
• Hedging Program Fluency: Strong familiarity with standard industry hedging programs (static, dynamic, and macro-hedging). You must understand the daily workflows of a hedging team to effectively sell them a better solution.
• Regulatory Expertise: Expert-level knowledge of US statutory regulations, specifically VM-21, VM-22, and BSCR, and their implications for hedging strategy and capital optimization.
• Communication: Exceptional presentation skills, with the ability to "speak the language" of actuaries, quantitative analysts, and traders while articulating value to business unit leaders.
• Corporate Finance Knowledge (Plus): Familiarity with Share Buyback execution methods, such as eOMR (enhanced Open Market Repurchase) and ASR (Accelerated Share Repurchase), is highly desirable
