Actuarial Associate - Government Relations

Verisk’s Government Relations Department (GRD) is seeking a driven and analytically minded Actuarial Associate (ACAS or near‑ACAS) to play a critical role at the intersection of actuarial science, regulation, and public policy. This is a unique opportunity to influence how insurance products, pricing, and catastrophe models are reviewed, approved, and adopted across the U.S. regulatory landscape.

In this role, you will partner closely with Verisk’s Underwriting Solutions and Catastrophe & Risk Solutions (CRS) businesses—supporting flagship ISO Core Lines Programs, predictive analytics initiatives, and catastrophe models that shape the insurance industry. You’ll engage directly with state regulators, provide actuarial insight on complex filings, and help drive strategies that enable timely regulatory approvals while fostering strong, collaborative regulatory relationships.

If you’re an actuary who enjoys combining technical rigor with communication, negotiation, and real‑world impact—and who wants exposure to a broad range of insurance lines, products, and regulatory environments—this role offers a rare chance to expand your influence beyond traditional actuarial boundaries while continuing to grow your professional credentials and expertise.

• Work with the business units in support of predictive modeling initiatives. 
• Support Verisk’s Catastrophe & Risk Solutions (CRS) team as needed with model review, regulator acceptance, etc. 
• Grow understanding of CRS models and usage between Verisk business units and products.

• Develop and implement strategies to achieve positive regulatory action in response to new ISO programs and high priority filings. 
• Make presentations to state regulators and other audiences as necessary to secure regulatory acceptance of ISO initiatives. 
• Provide complete and timely actuarial support for regulatory inquiries on ISO filings.
• Provide actuarial peer review to new or modified ratemaking methodologies. Stay abreast of all relevant ASOPs and NAIC activity for their impact on ISO products.
• Provide business units with state-specific Government Relations input and filing recommendations in response to actuarial ALERT indications for assigned lines / states.
• Foster positive regulatory environment and provide support for ISO's interactions with the independent bureaus.
• Occasional travel required for industry conferences, regulator visits, etc. 

• Bachelor’s degree in actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, or related majors. 
• Associate (ACAS) of Casualty Actuarial Society or near-ACAS with commitment to attaining ACAS required. 
• Minimum 4 years insurance experience desired. Deep knowledge of regulatory issues, industry, market, etc. desired. 
• Broad familiarity with most ISO lines of business preferred.
• Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication skills, including presentation skills. 
• Excellent negotiating skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Familiarity with catastrophe and predictive analytics modeling preferred.
• Familiarity with filing process and regulatory concerns preferred.
• Computer skills: Excel, Word, PowerPoint required; basic understanding of programming preferred.
• Some travel required.
