• Evaluate the reasonableness and sensitivity of model outputs, proactively identifying data quality issues, assumptions, or emerging risks.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure alignment between data, models, and real-world workflows.
• Contribute to improving and automating actuarial processes and analytical pipelines as the organization scales, establishing best practices in a start-up environment.
