Actuarial Sr Consultant, General Liability Pricing (Agribusiness & E&S) - REMOTE

If you’re a P&C actuarial professional looking to own a portfolio, influence general liability pricing strategy, and work with modern tools in a highly collaborative environment, this role is designed for you.

Own a High-Impact Portfolio

• Take lead actuarial responsibility for one of Nationwide’s portfolios, driving pricing strategy for a complex, growing book of business.

• Serve as the primary actuarial contact and spokesperson for your portfolio with underwriting, product, finance, reserving, and leadership partners.

• Translate complex pricing analysis into clear recommendations that shape rate actions, underwriting strategy, and overall profitability.

Modern Tools, Modern Mindset

• Step into a post-modernization actuarial environment where we’ve invested in better data, tools, and processes to support deeper portfolio analytics.

• Bring fresh ideas and challenge “we’ve always done it this way” thinking—this team is actively re-evaluating methodologies and looking for smarter, more efficient ways to price and manage risk.

• Use (or grow into) modern analytics tools like Databricks, Python, SQL, R, and advanced Excel to build, refine, and automate pricing analyses and dashboards.

Leadership Exposure & Career Growth

• Act as the face of pricing for your portfolio—leading discussions, presenting results, and framing the “so what” for senior leaders and cross-functional partners.

• Gain broad visibility across underwriting, product, finance, reserving, and other actuarial teams, positioning this role as a strong stepping stone toward future actuarial leadership.

• Partner with an experienced associate who supports day-to-day tasks, freeing you up to focus on higher-level analytics, storytelling, and strategy.

Filings Experience on Admitted Business

• Work on an admitted agribusiness portfolio, partnering closely with a dedicated filings team on rate filings and Department of Insurance (DOI) interactions.

• Help shape and support filings—providing actuarial expertise, rate indications, and technical rationale—without owning every filings detail alone.

• Ideal for GL pricing actuaries who either already have filings experience or are interested in building that capability in a supported, collaborative way.

Collaborative, Flexible Work Environment (Remote Eligible)

• Join a highly collaborative, mostly remote team—we are open to candidates across the United States and experienced in working virtually across locations and time zones.

• Work in a culture that feels “startup-like” within a large, stable company: open to experimentation, continuous improvement, and new perspectives.

• Benefit from strong cross-functional partnerships and a supportive environment that values learning, innovation, and shared problem-solving.

Preferred  Background

• P&C actuarial pricing experience in general liability or related commercial lines, ideally with exposure to agribusiness, E&S, or other specialty portfolios.

• Progress toward or completion of ACAS/FCAS; we welcome strong near-ACAS candidates with relevant GL pricing experience.

• Proven analytical and communication skills, with a track record of turning data into clear business stories and influencing decisions.

• Comfort working in an evolving environment, owning outcomes, and proactively seeking better ways to price, analyze, and manage complex books of business.

If you’re a general liability pricing actuary looking for a remote-eligible, high-visibility role where you can truly own a portfolio and help shape the future of P&C actuarial pricing at Nationwide, we’d love to hear from you.
