About the role

  • Own the integrity and performance of assigned production processes, including upstream data integration, execution, initial output review, and delivery to downstream stakeholders.
  • Serve as the accountable leader for production readiness, ensuring processes consistently meet quality, governance, and stakeholder expectations.
  • Develop and lead associates supporting production processes, fostering growth, accountability, and a strong sense of ownership across the team.
  • Engage with stakeholders and partners to understand broader objectives, dependencies, and opportunities—bringing a systems-level perspective beyond immediate responsibilities.
  • Continuously drive operational excellence, identifying and delivering improvements that increase efficiency, reduce risk, strengthen controls, and enhance stakeholder value.
  • Balance strong product and model understanding with process expertise, ensuring production processes are fit for purpose without being the ultimate subject matter expert.
  • Champion governance and best practices, ensuring alignment with actuarial standards, Securian policies, and enterprise expectations.
  • Model and reinforce a culture of accountability, curiosity, and continuous improvement within the team and across partnerships.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex processes or workflows.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort navigating ambiguity.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience leading, mentoring, or influencing others in a professional setting.
  • Strong organizational and documentation skills with attention to detail.
  • Experience supporting actuarial, financial, or data-driven production processes (preferred).
  • Familiarity with assets, life insurance, annuity, or retirement products (preferred).
  • Exposure to actuarial modeling, reporting, or governance frameworks (preferred).
  • Experience driving process improvement, operational excellence, or control enhancements (preferred).
  • Familiarity with varying tools and technology: Prophet, Atlas, Factset, R, Alteryx, or other actuarial modeling, data, and automation tools that can enable operational excellence and enhance stakeholder engagement (preferred).

The amount is based on company results compared to goals related to earnings, sales and service.
  • Health insurance: From the first day of employment, associates and their eligible family members – including spouses, domestic partners and children – are eligible for medical, dental and vision coverage.
  • Volunteer time: We know the importance of community. Through company-sponsored events, volunteer paid time off, a dollar-for-dollar matching gift program and more, we encourage you to support organizations important to you.
