Actuary resume examples & writing guide for 2026

Exam count in the headline

Actuarial analyst, personal lines pricing, three exams passed. Many employers expect exams passed before hire, and putting the count in the headline answers the first question a screener asks.

Exams dated above experience

Exams P, FM and MAS-I, each with its month, above the experience section. Recruiters say exam status comes first on an early-career resume, and the dates show the pace of progress.

Indications tied to premium

Rate indications for four states supporting $46M in written premium. Determining premium rates is the occupation's highest-rated task, and the premium figure shows the work was real, not a classroom exercise.

A workbook moved to Python

The quarterly loss-trend workbook automated in Python and pandas, saving 22 hours a quarter. Python is named in about a quarter of actuary postings, and the bullet shows it used at work.

Regulator objections answered fast

Thirty-five insurance department objections answered within ten days each, with no refilings. Filings are where pricing meets a regulator, and quick, clean answers are what a pricing manager needs from an analyst.

Losses found in a reconciliation

A reconciliation of three years of homeowners claims to the ledger that found $1.2M in miscoded losses. Clean data comes before any indication, and the dollar figure shows why the work mattered.

Credential beside the title

Pricing actuary, ACAS, personal auto and homeowners. Advancement depends on exams passed, so the associate credential sits in the headline next to the lines of business priced.

Rating plan judged by loss ratio

A GLM homeowners rating plan filed in seven states, with the new-business loss ratio from 71% to 64%. The loss ratio is the result a chief actuary reads first, given here before and after.

Filings with premium and outcome

Rate filings for $310M in premium across 12 states, every one approved. Postings this year ask pricing actuaries to support regulator inquiries, and the approval record is the evidence.

Monitoring cut to a day

Quarterly rate monitoring from five days to one by moving it from Excel to SQL and Tableau. SQL is the technology most named in actuary postings, and the bullet shows what it saved.

An AI score validated for regulators

A third-party AI underwriting score validated on 2.1M policy-years, with documentation regulators accepted. Insurers now ask actuaries to apply model governance to AI tools, and this shows it done.

Earlier trend work in one line

Loss trend studies for nine auto coverages, used in filings for $52M in premium. The analyst role keeps a single line, and it still names the premium the work supported.

Fellowship and team in the title

Personal lines pricing lead, FCAS, five actuaries and analysts. Fellowship is the top credential on the casualty path, and the team size tells a carrier the level of the role.

Premium under management

Five actuaries and analysts pricing auto and homeowners for $1.4B in premium across 18 states. Premium volume is the scale measure every insurer uses, and the state count shows filing breadth.

Rating plan rebuilt with telematics

The auto rating plan rebuilt with telematics, improving the loss ratio 3.8 points across 410,000 policies. Loss ratio points on a large book are what an executive committee hears about.

Governance for every rating model

Model governance for 26 rating models, including four AI scores, with no disapprovals in three years. Pricing leads are now asked to own governance, and the record shows regulators accepted it.

Reinsurance savings modeled

Eleven million dollars a year saved on reinsurance by modeling three catastrophe retention options with brokers and the CFO. Negotiating reinsurance terms is a listed actuarial task, and the savings make it concrete.

Fellowship above associate

FCAS listed above ACAS, each with its date. Credentials are the career ladder in this field, and showing both with dates lets a reader see how quickly the fellowship followed.
