Actuarial Intern

Will you shape the future or will the future shape you?

The opportunity

At EY Consulting, we help the world's leading insurers solve their most important challenges, and an internship in our Insurance and Actuarial Advisory Services (IAAS) practice is where exceptional actuarial careers begin. As a market leader across the property/casualty and life/health industries, IAAS gives you the opportunity to work alongside experienced actuaries on real client challenges, gain exposure across a wide range of engagements and begin building the technical, analytical and business skills that distinguish today's actuarial advisers.

At the same time, you'll join an apprenticeship-minded team that is deeply invested in your development. With the support of a dedicated counselor, a peer buddy and experienced actuaries who are committed to helping you grow, you'll contribute to meaningful work, build confidence through increasing responsibility and develop skills that will serve you throughout your career. Should you choose to continue your actuarial journey after graduation, our actuarial exam program provides paid study time, covers exam fees and materials and rewards your progress as you earn exams and credentials.

We don't expect you to arrive as an expert. Instead, we'll provide the experiences, coaching, and exposure that help you learn quickly and discover where your interests and strengths align. Over the course of the internship, you might:

• Build and test actuarial models supporting financial reporting, loss reserving or pricing engagements.

• Contribute to pricing, product, reinsurance or transformation analyses for leading insurance organizations.

• Help reimagine how actuarial work is performed through AI, automation, and other emerging technologies, identifying opportunities to work smarter and deliver greater value.

• Develop and present new ideas to your team, receiving coaching and feedback from experienced actuaries along the way.

Your key responsibilities

You’ll support client engagement teams across the life/health and property/casualty industries on a diverse range of actuarial and consulting work, including financial modeling, loss reserving, financial and regulatory reporting, rate setting and pricing, product strategy and innovation, transformation, reinsurance, capital management, litigation support, customer analytics and other consulting projects, with the chance to go deep in the areas that fit your strengths. You’ll learn by doing, with guidance from experienced colleagues every step of the way.

Skills and attributes for success

To qualify for the role, you must:

• Be pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in actuarial science, finance, mathematics or a related field, supported by a strong academic record.

• Be making progress toward passing your actuarial exams, with candidates who have passed at least 2 exams especially encouraged to apply.

• Have working knowledge of Microsoft Office tools (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

• Know how to effectively leverage firm approved AI tools to enhance problem-solving and productivity and have the ability to exercise sound judgment around AI-related risks and considerations.

• Be able to assess and articulate the evolving risks that AI presents to clients across multiple risk domains.

• Understand that the expectation for this role is in person teaming, at a client site or in an EY office, on average 3 days a week depending on the needs of the engagement, project or practice area.

• Have access to reliable transportation to/from the EY office and client sites. A driver’s license is strongly recommended as ride share and public transportation options may not be available in all locations.

• Be able and willing to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary. In certain circumstances, travel may be required beyond your work location based on client and project needs.

• Be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employer sponsorship, now and in the future.

Ideally you:

• Have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).

• Are familiar with programming or data tools (e.g., Excel VBA, R, Python).

• Have had exposure to AI or automation through coursework, projects or prior work.

• Have prior internship or practical experience in the actuarial field.

• Have an adaptable and curios mindset: you’re comfortable with change, eager to learn new topics and excited to explore new frontiers.

• Are open to collaboration: you’re a genuine team player who listens, shares credit and helps others succeed.

• Have strong communication skills: you explain your thinking clearly and confidently, in writing and in person.

• Maintain self-motivation and ownership: you take initiative, follow through and hold yourself to a high standard.

• Have a problem-solving mindset: you enjoy breaking down complex problems and finding practical, well-reasoned answers.
