Senior Actuary (FSA) - Life Product Management

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 actively seeking a talented Senior Actuary to join our Life Product Management in Newport Beach, CA, Omaha, NE or Charlotte, NC.

Just one block from a light rail station, the location offers seamless connectivity to the city and its cultural offerings.

While construction is underway, we are opening an interim location in early this year, 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.
