Senior Actuarial Analyst (Rotation Program)

Job Description:

Providing for loved ones, planning rewarding retirements, saving enough for whatever lies ahead – our policyholders count on us to be there when it matters most. It’s a big ask, but it’s one that we have the power to deliver when we work together. We collaborate and innovate – pushing one another to transform not just Pacific Life, but the entire industry for the better. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. Pacific Life is more than a job, it’s a career with purpose. It’s a career where you have the support, balance, and resources to make a positive impact on the future – including your own.

We’re expanding to Charlotte, North Carolina. Opening later this year, our Charlotte office will become our third major U.S. location. Over the next five years, we plan to grow our Charlotte team to approximately 300 employees.

While construction is underway, we are opening an interim location in early 2026, less than a mile from the Queensbridge Collective. This interim location will support our growing team through 2028, offering the resources and flexibility needed to build momentum as we establish our presence in the region. With convenience, lifestyle, and community built into the surroundings, our Charlotte office reflects Pacific Life’s commitment to creating spaces where employees can thrive, professionally and personally.
