What you'll do:

As Head of Actuarial Pricing based in Bangkok, you will play a central role in shaping the future of the organisation’s product portfolio. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve leading strategic pricing initiatives across multiple insurance lines—life, health, savings, riders—while ensuring that every decision supports long-term profitability. You will oversee the development of sophisticated pricing models that reflect key actuarial assumptions such as mortality rates or investment returns. By monitoring actual versus expected performance metrics like sales or claims trends, you’ll provide actionable insights to senior management. Your expertise will be crucial in establishing governance frameworks for pricing processes as well as preparing documentation for product approval committees. In addition to supporting regulatory filings alongside Compliance teams or liaising with OIC officials on technical matters, you’ll also manage reinsurance negotiations to optimise risk-sharing arrangements. Collaboration is at the heart of this role: you’ll partner with Product Development during design phases; coordinate with Distribution or Marketing on competitive positioning; work closely with Underwriting or Claims teams for operational alignment; engage Finance or Risk Management on financial implications. As a leader within the organisation’s actuarial function, you’ll coach your team towards greater technical proficiency while nurturing a collaborative culture that values continuous improvement.

• Lead all product pricing activities across life insurance, health insurance, savings plans, and rider products by setting strategic direction and managing profitability.
• Develop innovative pricing strategies that align with organisational goals, profitability targets, and competitive market positioning while considering mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, expenses, and investment assumptions.
• Perform detailed profitability analysis and financial projections for both new launches and existing products to ensure sustainable growth.
• Monitor product performance against expectations by analysing sales data, claims experience, persistency trends, and overall profitability; recommend repricing or corrective actions as needed.
• Establish rigorous pricing governance standards including methodologies and controls; prepare comprehensive pricing papers and financial justifications for product approval committees.
• Support regulatory product filing submissions in close coordination with Compliance teams and relevant stakeholders; liaise with OIC and external parties on pricing matters when required.
• Lead reinsurance pricing support activities by collaborating with reinsurers to optimise risk sharing arrangements; evaluate treaty structures and financial impacts across product lines.
• Partner with Product Development teams during design phases; collaborate with Distribution and Marketing teams on product positioning and campaign feasibility; work closely with Underwriting and Claims teams to ensure operational alignment.
• Coordinate with Finance, Risk Management, and Compliance teams on financial considerations as well as regulatory requirements related to actuarial standards.
• Coach, mentor, and develop the Product Pricing team by fostering technical capability, business acumen, leadership competencies; promote a high-performance culture focused on collaboration and continuous improvement.

Your ability to build strong inter-personal relationships across departments—Product Development, Distribution & Marketing or Underwriting & Claims—ensures seamless execution of business objectives.
