Reinsurance strategy: Build financial models to help analyze different reinsurance strategies for RIS products utilizing affiliate and third-party reinsurance vehicles.

New product development: Build pricing models and early product assessments for new RIS growth markets, with a particular focus on longevity reinsurance, funded reinsurance, and retail annuity reinsurance.

Stakeholder collaboration: Collaborate with Reinsurance, Treasury, Risk, Actuarial, Finance, Investment, and other relevant business functions to ensure timely completion of key initiatives. Conduct financial modeling and pricing analysis for the reinsurance and product development initiatives.
