Director, Valuation & Inforce Product Management

June 6, 2026

About Us: At Everly, our vision is to change the paradigm of insurance. We know life insurance can be confusing and complex. We know that most people purchase life insurance at a milestone moment and file it away for the future. We want to change how people think about, buy, and use life insurance by being a partner in life’s journey. We are focused on making things that matter, making meaningful connections, and making things work WAY better. Our goal is to provide radically transparent, consumer-first insurance solutions. We are looking for people with a continuous improvement mindset. Those who think the opposite of “This is how we’ve always done it”. We want people on our team who are always asking “How can we do this better?” Our company values are a guide to our behavior and help inform our decisions. We want people who embody those values of breaking down barriers, owning the outcome, embracing the journey, and sparking joy. This is a remote position based in the US with occasional travel. About the role: We are seeking a versatile and detail-oriented Director, Valuation and Inforce Management to act as the owner of the valuation function for the company and support the Stat & GAAP actuarial reporting requirements. This role owns the integrity and structure of inforce model populations — ensure population inputs are auditable, consistently structured, and aligned across valuation, projection, and reporting. Additionally, this role is a key support function for the financial reporting needs of the company including asset adequacy testing, annual statement, ORSA, FP&A, and risk management. The ideal candidate thrives in a small-company environment where wearing multiple hats is the norm. You are equal parts technical expert, project wrangler, and cross-functional partner. You build strong relationships across marketing, operations, technology, legal, and third-party vendors, and you are willing to roll up your sleeves and dive deep into the details to get the job done. You will be the go-to authority on how reserve calculations work technically and will lead the effort to ensure they are built, tested, documented, reported, and maintained correctly.
