Can you help us make the difference?
I first joined the product risk team as an actuarial intern, and after that as a full-time risk manager. During the internship I got to participate in many different projects that fit my interests and background and still had the flexibility to accommodate my school work. The team is also full of fun and experienced colleagues who are always willing to help, advise, and give wonderful guidance.
