  • At least 4 years of formal or informal leadership is preferred, including technical and project leadership across complex, multidisciplinary initiatives and the ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment without direct authority.
  • Expertise in asset-liability management principles, fixed-income assets, insurance liabilities, derivatives, financial modeling, cash-flow analysis, and key-rate risk is required, along with familiarity with relevant U.S. and Bermuda regulatory, reserving, and capital frameworks.

Responsibilities

  • Drive entity- and portfolio-level asset-liability management and asset-allocation oversight by evaluating duration, cash-flow mismatches, liquidity convexity, basis risk, and other material exposures; monitor positioning relative to the company's asset-liability management risk policy and assess implications for reserves, capital, earnings, liquidity, and risk appetite.
  • Partner with Apollo and leaders across Investments, Actuarial, Finance, Risk, Treasury, and Corporate Development to shape strategic asset-liability management initiatives, hedging strategies, strategic asset allocation, and capital-markets assumptions, bringing disciplined analysis and effective challenge to cross-functional decisions.
  • Evaluate assignments across strategic asset allocation, pricing, portfolio mandates, and entity-level asset-liability management objectives, considering U.S. and Bermuda regulatory, reserving, capital, liquidity, and cash-flow-testing implications and identifying emerging risks, trade-offs, and opportunities requiring management attention.
  • Serve as a senior technical advisor and trusted delegate to the Vice President of Asset Liability Management by delivering timely analysis on market developments, interest-rate exposures, transaction activity, regulatory matters, and other business-critical issues, and communicating recommendations to senior management, governance committees, asset managers, and regulators.
  • Advance asset-liability management analytics, reporting, and decision-support capabilities by establishing authoritative reporting sources, reconciling results across systems and methodologies, resolving material inconsistencies, and applying automation and AI-enabled tools appropriately while maintaining strong governance, validation, controls, and independent judgment.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Python, SQL, data visualization, or similar analytical tools is preferred.
  • An MBA, CFA, FRM, FSA, or another relevant professional designation is preferred.
